duelbooting ubuntu gnome with win7

[Jean-Marc Gailis]

Hey!
It's impossible to use windows' bootloader to boot on any GNU/Linux distro
because they're fighting against us.
You just have to use ubuntu gnome installer, and select "keep windows and
install ubuntu gnome aside"; at restart you will be able to choose between
Ubuntu GNOME and Windows, in GRUB.
To dual-boot, and also to boot, you have to use Grub, it's the only usable
bootloader that is available for us.(and it's the most used even if you can
choose (see Debian))
