I don't complain that subscribers helped regarding this
Bootloader/Microsoft issue, but now that it's solved, more
about Microsoft AGBs, policies and history should be avoided.

If Microsoft does cause that much trouble for multi-boot computers,
than I would either not use Microsoft operating systems at all or use a
good verified, illegal optimized cracked version. If Microsoft behaves
evil, they should expect the users' self-defence. Don't get me wrong, I
don't recommend to use a good verified, illegal optimized cracked
version. I recommend to entirely drop Windows. My multi-boot is Linux
only [1]. If Windows should be required, then I run it in a VM. If
software Linux doesn't provide should be required and a performance a
VM can't provide, e.g. very good virtual real-time synth, I'm using an
iPad connected by ADAT and MIDI with the Linux PC.

Ralf
