Are you sure about this? What about a >2TB disk present on the system
and EFI booting? I know at least Win7 supports EFI booting, but I
don't have a machine that has such a setup to test with :(

I just did attempt to install F16 Alpha alongside Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
in a VM, and while Fedora installed successfully and didn't touch the
NTFS partition, Windows wasn't in the menu. Looking at this, it seems
to be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678456 which just
had an update submitted today, will wait for a nightly compose tonight
and redo tomorrow.
