In the past, EasyBCD was only a bootloader modification tool that let end-users configure the Windows Vista bootloader, and EasyBCD 1.5 added support for &#8220;profiles&#8221; that could be used to <a href=\"https:\/\/neosmart.net\/blog\/easybcd-15-multidual-boot-vista-linux-mac-os-x-bsd\/\" rel=\"follow\">boot into Linux, BSD, &amp; OS X<\/a>. Not only does EasyBCD 1.51 add support for several other operating systems, but also it goes a step further. A <strong>very big step<\/strong> further. Now, if there is anything that Vista&#8217;s BCD bootloader <em>can&#8217;t<strong> <\/strong><\/em>boot into, EasyBCD 1.51 <strong>comes with its own additional bootloader<\/strong> that can boot into it. It&#8217;s called NeoGrub, and you&#8217;re going to love it.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Besides the fact that EasyBCD 1.51 is now the <strong>most powerful bootloader on earth<\/strong>,<sup id=\"rf1-304\"><a href=\"#fn1-304\" title=\"As a matter of fact, the only bootloader on the planet that can boot straight into Vista, Linux, Mac OS X, SkyOS, BSD, FreeBSD, and every other OS you can imagine!\" rel=\"footnote\">1<\/a><\/sup> it&#8217;s still the number 1 most versatile tool for modifying the Vista bootloader, used by everyone and anyone that care to make their lives easier<sup id=\"rf2-304\"><a href=\"#fn2-304\" title=\"Including guys at Google, Microsoft, and more!\" rel=\"footnote\">2<\/a><\/sup> with tens of functions and lots of time-saving features. EasyBCD is now supports booting into Windows Vista\/Longhorn Server natively; Legacy versions of Windows via NTLDR; chainloading into GRUB, Darwin, Lilo, FreeBSD Loader; and <strong>natively booting into<\/strong> Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, ReactOS, SkyOS, and many more <strong>from the all new NeoGrub bootloader!<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<div align=\"right\">\n<\/div>\n<p><em>What is NeoGrub?<\/em> Good question. It&#8217;s an implementation of GRUB built&nbsp;for Windows. EasyBCD installs NeoGrub first, then hooks into it upon request. It&#8217;s built upon the excellent work of the GRUB for Windows project, boot it&#8217;s now directly integrated into Windows Vista&#8217;s BCD bootloader. Basically, it&#8217;s a way of booting into <strong>almost any operating system<\/strong> with little to no configuration required.
