GRUB is useless for many users  
Written by cslee-ubuntu the 21 Sep 12 at 18:52. Global category: Usability. New
When the user interface for grub is displayed ther are a few lines which require good eyesight and dexterity to use, let alone the ability to read.
It needs to move with the times.

Solution #1: Icons and touch screen/mouse support
Written by cslee-ubuntu the 21 Sep 12 at 18:52.
To make the boot process more user friendly when more than one option is available having icons instead of tiny rows of text would make the options more obvious.
Allowing a user to touch the icons or use a mouse would also make the process more easy.
On tablet devices you get to go to the default option more often than is ideal unless you plug in a keyboard.
