From: "Gregg Nemesure" 

Well, here I am posting from my newly installed XP upgrade. I didn't have
to do a thing with grub. XP left it alone in the MBR, and the Windows
selection now boots XP. The normal NT boot menu appears not to have been
installed.

I don't think I could get used to that new XP color and icon scheme. Man,
is that annoying. I selected "Windows Classic." I notice that
what used to be white window background now appears to be a very light
shade of tan. Is this just my installation, or is that how it is supposed
to look?

It feels a little slower than 98, and takes a little longer to boot.
