And it's nice that you have the _choice_ to dual-boot with *nix
installers. Fairly certain to this day, Win installation media has one
option - "Blow it all away and give me the entire drive".

No, not true. I have installed Windows with Microsoft media taking only
part of the disk, and it was trivial to do so.

Good to hear that's changed then.


By default, the Linux installs I know also take the whole new disk for
Linux.

Dunno what distros you're running with -- Debian and children don't do
that, unless the drive's clean.

Though, admittedly, I haven't installed Debian on a drive with another
OS in some time; maybe they have changed it.
