I forgot to address the question of Boot Magic ... To be perfectly honest with you I don't really know, I do know Microsoft drastically changed boot manager for Vista (Which I found out the hard way when I tested RC1 and then tried to remove it, Vista was gone but the boot manager remained) but it didn't seem to affect loading Linux and GRUB but I did that after installing Vista not the other way around ... I used to have a version, along with Partition Magic and I did like it better than anything either Linux or Microsoft had
