We\u2019ve done it! NeoSmart Technologies has built a better mousetrap<\/a>, and it\u2019s a beauty. EasyBCD 1.5<\/a> is the first and only<\/strong> application to allow users of Microsoft\u2019s new OS complete compatibility<\/strong> with any other OS they might be using! It doesn\u2019t make a difference if it\u2019s Mac OS X<\/a> or Linux<\/a>, BSD<\/a> or Unix; EasyBCD 1.5 means you can boot into it! For too long have Vista\u2019s beta testers been locked-in to Windows simply because nothing else can be easily booted into, but not anymore!<\/p>\n

Windows Vista\u2019s new bootmanager is a double-edged sword. It\u2019s one of the most powerful booting scripts in existence, and a far cry from the very limiting boot.ini of legacy Windows operating systems. But at the same time, Microsoft shows its disregard for other simultaneously installed operating systems. It overwrites the MBR without a second thought, and doesn\u2019t provide any means for users of alternate operating systems and boot managers to use their old system. That\u2019s where EasyBCD 1.5 comes in!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get much simpler than this. With our new release of EasyBCD 1.5, booting into Linux, Mac OS X, or BSD straight from the Vista bootloader<\/em> without ever<\/strong> having to add a single line of code<\/strong> reconfigure a thing is but a touch away! The new Add\/Remove operating system section has been completely redone, making it easier to boot into legacy operating systems and adding the long-awaited support for adding non-Microsoft operating systems:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to configure a single thing!<\/em> Once you specify a name for the entry and choose the platform + booting method (for Linux), you\u2019re all set! If you can boot into Vista, you can boot into Linux or Mac OS X! No more re-configuring GRUB or Lilo, it just works \u2013 from the very first time. So long as at some point in time before installing Vista your operating system used to boot OK it will now, nothing to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides multi-OS support, EasyBCD sports\u00a0a changelog<\/a> a mile-and-a-half long. Some of the major changes include fully UAC\/UAP compatibility, multi-threaded, longer-timeout update checks<\/a>, and a very handy \u201cAutomated MBR Backup\u201d section (still a work-in-progress). EasyBCD is now capable of backing up the entire<\/em> MBR \u2013 not just the BCD settings; meaning you can preserve whatever working configuration you have now byte-for-byte:<\/p>\n

As always, EasyBCD is free. We hope you enjoy it, and our excellent technical support team will be more than happy to help you with any issues you might have with EasyBCD and\/or configuring your multi-boot system. (And donations are freely accepted<\/a> for this non-profit program!!)<\/p>\n
