No, I'm not using GUID right now. But I don't believe this has |
| 45 |
anything to do with Grub 2 itself and from what I can tell you don't |
| 46 |
actually use GPT on your dual-boot machine anyway. Though that would |
| 47 |
take away the main reason to upgrade. Doing a quick DDG search, I see |
| 48 |
more positive than negative about Windows + GTP. I think we should |
| 49 |
promote a greater sense of adventure. |
