**Cut myself short:
I have not tried Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all
if Wine will not give me a smooth solution), but I do hope they
managed to turn the boat on this disaster of an OS. If not, I frankly
do not understand how they can still entertain a customer base.

So last day I got around to installing Vista. The last 12 hours
have convinced me that this is arguably the worst operating system
ever made, and booting back into F17 was bliss. I have not tried
Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all if Wine will
not give me a smooth solution).
Reinstalling Grub with the F17 seems to be broken by the
way...grub2-install throws an error. I did not record it
unfortunately, but I am assuming it can be fixed. If nothing
else, it is not problematic to use an earlier version for recovery
unless you need Grub2.

Deceptively simple and elegant solution, apply the DWPGA rule.
Delete Windows, problem goes away.
