When One OS Is Not Enough For Your Computer

"The new 2.0 release of the application comes with a slew of changes, the most notable including Windows 7 support, bootable ISO images, and adding bootable USB drives to the bootloader. It's well worth a look if you're setting up a dual-boot configuration."
Some of you out there seem to think that in order to get the best of all OSes, you have to install all the OSes. Virtual machines may provide an option, but that is not good enough for you. You want all of your operating systems to run on bare metal. EasyBCD might just be a handy tool for you to have then. While I suspect anyone who goes through a dual-boot process has enough savvy to modify a bootloader without extra tools, it is probably nice to have an easy program so you do not have to muddle through arcane files buried deep in the computer. I just find it ironic that it only supports Windows, instead of the triumverate that is Linux, OSX and Windows.
