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