Title:
  Wishlist bug: clearer entries for MS Windows entries

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My wish is to simplify the language referring to Windows partitions in
  /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The current language is in terms that only a Unix
  geek could love: "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)." This does not
  contribute to resolution of bug #1.

  I am an advanced intermediate user of Linux, so I know exactly what
  the line means. But a less experienced user of my multi-boot machine
  might well be confused. I would prefer "compromise" language: for
  example, "Microsoft Windows 7 (installed on /dev/sda1)."

  This way, the *ix user knows which is the Windows partition; the
  Windows user sees a term that s/he recognizes.
