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.
I tried it with the server 2008 edition, and the corresponding "user"
edition, in several combinations.
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.
I said "new disk", ie, a clean disk :-)
