I've never had a problem with Grub 2 + Windows (XP, Vista, 7, still |
33 |
haven't had the will to sacrifice myself for 8). Although sometimes |
34 |
it seems, with all the complaining some linux users like to do about |
35 |
new software, I must be a wee bit lucky. Been using Grub 2 alpha/beta |
36 |
for years with much success! I've so far enjoyed the configuration |
37 |
more than legacy Grub. |
