It is true that the Windows installer is not a bad idea. And more apparent, he joined the ubuntu boot loader in the boot of Vista ...
Excellent innovation!
Yes it fits into the boot loader (XP Vista), which allows easy removal since there is more to deal with grub.
This provides more certainty, since the risk of a crash are greatly reduced (no change in scores, no change in the boot sector).
The method of the boot loader is already well known as it is used for PC tattooed.
Finally with the support of NTFS, no problem for Linux and Windows to coexist on the same partition.
It's really a giant leap, the largest after the Live CD.
Tell me, is there going to be the French language available right out of the OS? Sorry if this is a silly question ...
@ Ashkahel: Welcome!
Yes, of course, Ubuntu is available in many languages right out, the French!
Ubuntu is, in fact, available in 181 languages, but the translation is done by community members, some are more advanced than others https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy
Fortunately, the Francophone community is very dynamic and most applications have already been translated.
