could give a demo of what M$ might have launched on the world
to get rid of dual-boot boxes!!

It may be a bad idea to give Bill Gates and his M$ goons any ideas.  Then
again, those 
lamers who are dual-booting due to fear of the unknown should probably be
more decisive and >run linux and only linux.  ;-p

Personally, if I were dual-booting I wouldn't trust Microsoft with the boot
sector anyway. I'd use a boot disk to boot the Linux install and not install
lilo or grub. That way, they can't touch the other OS (short of removing the
disk partition...)
