No idea what issue they're referring to at this point.  There is no
issue.  There WAS an issue involving migration-assistant that caused
the grub menu to only include Lucid, but not Windows (nor any other OS
on the system) but that was resolved before release.

Stop worrying and just install... I've probably done hundreds of dual
boot installs of Lucid at this point (not exaggerating, it's what I
do) and not a problem thus far (beyond what I just mentioned).

Heck, even my mom was able to install 10.04 alongside Windows 7 on her
laptop... and she's one of those people who thinks AOL = Internet...
(or did, back when people thought that)...
