I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually an M$ agent. I just read a John C Devorak article that mentioned how M$ used a team of M$ employees to go in to chat rooms and mail list during the OS/2 wars. He mentioned that it seems M$ is up to their old tricks. He said an informant from M$ leaked it too him. He also mentioned that they will troll chat pallors and mail lists about how awful things are with the an M$ competitor and wonderful the lastest M$ product is. I could be wrong, this might just be some guy talking about something he's just doing. I for one am paranoid enough to not trust M$. How knows? The NTFS bootloader may very well log the OS version installed and then send it home to Redmond - lord knows M$-XP phones home alot. Just MHO, Curtis On Wed, 2002-01-30 at 23:45, wolfi wrote:

I have NTFS on my first (Windows) partition, and use the Windows bootloader [...] It actually gives me a perverse pleasure to use the Windows bootloader to boot to Linux.
If anyone needs details, let me know (only takes about 10 minutes to set up).
I run XP Home ed. (don't laugh, it was preinstalled in the computer I upgraded to) and SuSE. I currently use lilo, but am willing to play around with MS's bootloader. Tell me the details...
