Currently I have only two options: delay 11.0 or close the bug as WORKSFORME.
I think both options are not good. If the bug cannot be fixed, there should be a detection of Vista in YaST and if Vista is detected, then a warning should pop up that the installation of openSUSE may break the booting of Vista. With a hint how to fix it afterwards. Maybe a link to the openSUSE Wiki where additional information can be added afterwards. Then the *user* can decide if it's worth the risk. But we should be honest to our users! A user that installs openSUSE 11.0 the first time and gets a broken Windows with all the data lost (for him in the first place) -- such a user will never ever install Linux (and not only the SUSE flavour) next X years. I just remember when I installed SUSE LINUX 6.3 the first time. I read the manual before installing anything. I didn't install the boot loader to MBR because that was considered as "dangerous". I installed the bootloader to a floppy disk and each time I wanted to boot Linux, I moved that disk into my floppy drive. I took 2 month after I installed LILO in MBR. And it worked. My Windows 98 never stopped working. And that was important for me.
