You can say that W7 makes it harder to dual with any Linux distro. Not in my experience.
This sentence was poorly stated, i agree. What i meant was that it is not as easy to accomplish as with its predecessors. Ofcourse, when one knows what to do, everything becomes easy... When it is configured properly, it works just fine as with the other versions.
It is simple enough provided that the person or business that installed the machine first with Windows did it with multiboot in mind. If they use the 4 primaries, then it is quite difficult - but that is not the fault of Windows 7. It is easier if they also left free unpartitioned space, but again, that is the fault of the installer. W7, for example, has a good utility to shrink a partition even while it is in use. Of course, it has to be done early, or it will be impossible to shrink by a fair amount. W7 has a multibooter that is capable of booting Linux. It can be configured to use UTC in the CMOS... I find it easier than its predecessors. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
