Thats not fair !!!
No OS in the world will keep other boot-loaders as part of it's
installation.
Do you think Solaris or Windows will ever install Grub as default, and
select a Linux OS as the default OS ?

In fact, it's a great idea to have Ubuntu selected by default.
So , if a user , for some reason, ends up forgetting to choose the OS, will
end up landing in Linux. He'll think, "Oh well ! I'm in Linux, lemme see if
I can get my work done here instead of wasting time rebooring " and the game
begins.

Secondly, I think since 7.04 atleast, Windows drives are successfully
detected and mounted on the Desktop. Maybe ubuntu needs to do a little
tweaking so that the Drives are names C: , D: , etc. instead of /media/sda1,
etc.

Thanks,
