I remembered my first experience with linux..tried it and since I
wasn't crazy about it at the time, I wiped off the linux partition
from inside Windows XP (Computer Management in control panel). Big
mistake because GRUB was still there and didn't know what to do and I
couldn't boot. Maybe there were other options but with no access to
the pc I just reinstalled from the recovery cd which wasn't fun...

GRUB is working like a charm. I think it can be ported. Even we can
make a GUI for it. :)
