If I recall correctly,  GRUB wasn't really mature at the time that particular piece of MS documentation waa written, so "the" linux boot manager isn't bad... just outdated.

From /etc/inittab

Yep, seems to be all right.

Right.

Maybe some people just don't know what the fuck and need to check the site of the company that created the OS they want to install?

All ya needa do is put in the XP CD and delete all the partitions. It's not rocket science, and a HOWTO is definetly not necesary.
And I wouldn't say too many people would actually consult and follow that HOWTO, even if they *do* want to remove GNU/Linux for XP.

To some people that is rocket science. Most non-techie computer users don't even know what a partition is, let alone how to delete one.
