There were some people on this forums who were stating that if you have OSX + Windows on a same or separate drives installed and also have a software raid running in OSX, Windows will not boot and will require a separate SATA or Raid PCIe card to solve the issue. Im happily reporting that it is not the case with new 2010 MPs. I have dual boot SL + Win7 64 installed on my 180GB SSD and 3x2TB drives in raid 0. Everything is operational so dont waste money on unnecessary expansion cards before purchasing your new MP.
Got a tip for us?

There's been reports of both (unctional/non-functioning separate and BC'ed Windows disks when an OS X created array is being used.
What there isn't a lot of information on, is the system model, or the firmware revision (which I suspect is the differentiating factor between working/non-working systems).
Makes for a lot of confusion.
