The problem IMHO will happen with updates where you update the kernel version to 2.6. I've just been reading articles from people who are smarter than me and that seems to be the source of the booting problems.
Not completely related to the FC2 part, but more along the lines that it's a bug in the 2.6 kernel. I had been running FC1 when it was first out and loved it. I got a SuSe 9.1 from a friend and tried it out, great too, another nice flavor. Tried to boot into windows, BURN. I've been looking all over for fixes and answers. This has been the most help so far with bugzilla reports and BIOS fixes, but I still have a problem. I can boot into windows, great. I can't get windows to keep video drivers for the life of me. I first thought windows had reset my drivers when I went into a recovery console, for whatever reason, so I just downloaded them again and installed. Upson reboot, they were gone again. Does this have anything to do with the HD being forced into LBA mode? I haven't made any changes to windows since not being able to access it, so I can't think of anything else...
BS no windows/linux compatability applies to you personally. How many websites do you think you visit in a day are run off of a linux box? Or a windows box if you're on Linux already (assumed no though)? If cross-compatability goes down, it could be a big pitfall.

Funny, When I turn my laptop 90 degrees, I don't see a mess, I see the person behind it...
