NeoSmart has just released EasyBCD 1.5, complete with support for Vista, Windows NT/2k/XP, and Windows 9x/ME. EasyBCD 1.5 adds experimental support for dual-booting any of these along with Linux, Mac OS X, or BSD - straight from the Windows Vista bootloader without any additional configuration needed. "Windows Vista's new bootmanager is a double-edged sword. It's one of the most powerful booting scripts in existence, and a far cry from the very limiting boot.ini of legacy Windows operating systems. But it overwrites the MBR without a second thought, and doesn't provide any means for users of alternate operating systems and boot managers to use their old system. That's where EasyBCD 1.5 comes in!"

I'm wondering too and have to note that everytime Neosmart writes about something "most powerful" this could also be a "been there, done that" feature.
There was an article about the new boot manager here on OSNews some months ago and it didn't show me anything special. In particular, GRUB seems way more powerful to me, not even talking about GRUB2..

Just wonder, how it compares to GRUB/LILO ?
