    Huh, is Windows screwing over GRUB and Linux not a bi-monthly experience anymore? Sad that it happened, but glad that it’s become novelty enough to write about.

      yeah i remember the good old days, when windows update broke grub every time…
      eventually i switched to Windows Boot Manager (built into windows) and luckily it stopped breaking….
      but, as to your question, yeah it’s been years since windows broke grub…

      I mean, maybe I’m just lucky, but I’ve been dual booting Linux and Windows for a little less than 10 years, and I’ve never had a Windows update interfere with GRUB. I’ve always thought the complaints were overblown.
