Right. It's a pragmatic consideration. We can't support all dual boot
cases, and dual booting alongside Windows is the most common and
important to support (as it's what you need to do to attract new
converts).

I don't think there's a conflict at all. All distros work hard to dual
boot with Windows successfully because that's how you get people to try
Linux: i.e., it's actually a key thing to have *in order to driver our
philosophy*.
That argument does not hold water and has not for sometime now...
