    Graphical boot area for dual boot

    Is any one else interested in the idea of a Graphical boot area for dual boot i asked ages ago but recently i found Burg witch is pretty good and much smarter for dual booters who may have need of Windows for work or college or it could be good for people new to Ubuntu still not confident enough to fully let go of Windows yet

    Any comments please

    I know its not the most important issue but surely someone has some thing to say, I just think that in this day + age people expect NOT to see line based computing much especially beginners + it might help sway dual booters to permanent dual booting or full Ubuntu use.

    Any comments please...

    I like it, I am new to Ubuntu and love using it, but I do a lot with SolidWorks for work which simply wont run on anything but windows. Can I download this somewhere?

    I downloaded a DEB (Ubuntu EXE) of Burg from a web site

    https://launchpad.net/burg

    or for PPA:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg

    And Burg manager:
    http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/b...g-manager-app/

    and more importantly a separate settings manager (above) for Burg but i couldn't get the resolution right although it work fine and looked OK in the default lower resolution (800*640) plus there are loads of themes available.
