Maybe, only maybe, MS will release it in 2011. On the other hand, Linux is here now, and it is usable, and it just works.

They’ve always overwritten the MBR (even Linux does this).

You guys act as if it destroys the Linux partitions (it doesn’t).

The difference is that Grub/LILO give you a boot menu (whereas bootloaders for most other OS’s don’t).

You guys make mountains out of mole-hills.
