You are absolutely right, I killed my PC today (hopefully parts replacement was 
on warranty) as well as two full days of attempting to get Ubuntu to dualboot 
with Windows XP on SATA RAID0 and an IDE drive.
I find it very sad that this little task (installation) took up an 
extraordinary amount of time where the same process in Windows XP would have 
taken 20 seconds to load a 3.5" floppy disk into the floppy drive, press F6 to 
load [Specific Drivers] and choose which SATA RAID0 drive to begin Windows 
installation.

While this is a personal situation, I have found numerous unanswered
posts by newbies who JUST wanted to have their cake and eat it. i.e.
Dual boot and install with little hassle.

To draw an analogy, no point furnishing a house beautifully if you don't
own the key to that house.

The mantra of "you must backup your data" has to go. It goes against the 
philosophy of bringing an OS to the people.
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista is about serving the people (with some 
compromises)
They have anticipated and researched well market trends and responded.


I would like Ubuntu to do the same.
