Humm, bad attitude IMO.  OTOH, its a well known fact that a windows 
install will trash any linux installed mbr things and has been doing 
it for years.  On purpose we think...

Suddenly the shoe is on the other foot and the bellowing of gored ox's 
can be heard throughout the land.

I don't imagine it was a consiously done thing, and I imagine it will 
get fixed, but in the meantime I am one who is rather tired of the 
endless repetition about it.  Can we just stfu and run yum update 
once a day and be happy?  Of course this is coming from a non-windows 
user, the only windows in my house are made of silica sand.  My needs 
are relatively simple and windows hasn't got a thing I need to run.
