While installing Fedora 16 Alpha, I ran into some problems that turned out to be caused by the installer formatting with a GPT rather than an MBR partition table. I would like to understand the change and its implications, and I have unsuccessfully tried to track down more information. I haven't been able to find anything in the Fedora 16 Alpha Release Notes or the Grub2 feature page. The only definitive reference I've been able to find is the comment "x86 uses GPT disklabels by default on all machines, even non-EFI" on the Anaconda/Changes wiki page. There seem to be some complications associated with the change. For example, Windows can only support GPT on UEFI machines, so dual-booting appears to be unsupported (I could not find an option for MBR partition tables in the installer). Where should I look for more information?
