Debian win32-loader Goes Official

An anonymous reader writes "After a long process of review and polishing, the win32 loader from goodbye-microsoft.com has finally made its way to official Debian CDs. Latest daily builds of lenny (the development version) are including it, making starting Debian Installer as simple as just a few clicks (OGG). The win32-loader version, now based on GRUB 2, includes new features such as detection and pre-seeding of Windows settings, and is translated to 20 languages."

Everyone remember to click right through the EULA like they do in the instructional video, or it won't work. :)

Well that's a bummer.

I don't have any Windows machines to test it out on.

Will this work in Wine? :)

Seriously though - nice work, guys.
