Public bug reported:
My wish is to simplify the language referring to Windows partitions in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg. The current language is in terms that only a Unix
geek could love: "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)." This does not
contribute to resolution of bug #1.
I am an advanced intermediate user of Linux, so I know exactly what the
line means. But a less experienced user of my multi-boot machine might
well be confused. I would prefer "compromise" language: for example,
"Microsoft Windows 7 (installed on /dev/sda1)."
This way, the *ix user knows which is the Windows partition; the Windows
user sees a term that s/he recognizes.
