A couple of things about all this M$/Novell "agreement".
1] On a dual boot machine, will M$ now make it's windows OS detect
*other* OS (linux etc) *&* install a boot loader, just as GRUB or LiLo
does in GNU/linux? Or will is still persist in thinking it's the *only*
OS on the machine?
2] On a dual boot machine, will Windows now be made to access *any* other
OS (linux etc) from it's desktop, just like you can access Windows from
a GNU/Linux desktop?
If it won't do this, then IMHO M$ aren't serious about integration with
linux.
