Comment 19 for bug 3339

fred: nobody's talking about a grub loader that can basically encrypt a file on your hdd or any other totally unnecessary feature. we're talking about an interface that is visually appealing and the success in this area that other distros have shows that it IS possible. if you're into minimalistic, sure, deactivate it. but if we're trying to make people switch from windows to the ubuntu family well then they're obviously gonna have a microsoft operating system running on the same computer so the grub menu WON'T be hidden, don't kid yourself. and well coming from windows they know one thing: great interface, crappy codebase ... grub's the other way around. why would you want to scare new users off with a great boot loader? for instance, they immediately think "why in all the world do i now have two ubuntu's?" (regular & recovery) ?? etc. so WHY if they're supposed to make the switch make it harder? we, the people who are already "in the know" and everything could easily change it back to minimalistic/"off" (that is, invisible or so) ... still opposed?
