It's in the manual, right in the section where you'd expect it to be:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#History>

What would be the benefit of starting such a low-level ``slander'': ``My
Desktop picture is prettier than yours!''.  The Apple guys would always
win, probably.  (At least in some obscure metric.)  I'm not going to
participate in such a ``discussion'', neither do I suggest to others to
go this path.  What is obviously correct to do, though, is setting wrong
facts straight.
