My system at work is dual booted to SuSE 9.2 Professional and Windows XP. I was sharing the 2 desktop systems over a KVM until a week or so ago when I got a TFT monitor, and gave the KVM to someone else. The Keyboard and Mouse that came with this system are USB, but the old stuff was PS/2. I plugged in the new Monitor, Keyboard and mouse, booted up to SuSE, and everything came up perfectly. :-)))))
Then, to test Windows XP, rebooted, the XP boot loader gave me the presentation for normal and safe modes. But, one I came up in the ctrl-alt-delete splash screen, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. Maybe the system is telling me not to use XP :-)
I think that every time you select windoze from the grub menu it should have a popup that asks "Why are you doing this to me?" In my case it's because there are still games that don't run easily on linux. But hopefully that will continue to improve.
Not that I want to make our lives more complicated using M$ Software but doesn't XP have it's own boot loader on the order of the one that came with NT? I know that with NT you can, and it was recommended that you, use the NT boot loader to choose OS'.
