Maybe I've just been very fortunate. Since 2000 when I bought my first 
boxed version of SUSE I've never had a Windows update mess with the boot 
partition. Upgrades, yes. Going from one version of Windows to the next 
has always messed with the boot partition.

Not saying it can't happen on an update, it just never has for me.

For the most part I have stopped dual booting as much as possible. Only 
my main laptop and my E are dual booted. I have matching desktops, one 
Linux and one Windows. Easier to switch back and forth when necessary 
and much simpler than a VM. Plus, I can do both at the same time if I 
need to. My Dell Duo is Windows only, I share it with my best half and 
she won't do Linux. And, it being part laptop and part tablet I am 
hesitant to try a Linux install. It probably would work fine 
but...................
