I was thinking of doing a dual boot with Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 10.04 using the Windows Installer version online and was wondering about a couple of things.

1. Can I make Windows the default boot and
2. Can that be decided from withing the Windows environment ie; System Properties - Startup and recovery options or does it have to be done from Ubuntu, if it is possible.

If you have windows questions and a windows orientated way of wanting things, you might want to go to the windows 7 forums for some of these questions.

If you want to do a real dual boot=separate OS on separate partitions then yes, if you use the grub bootloader set W7 to boot first with a program called startup manager.
