fedora 9 / windows XP grub question

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 on my laptop. I had the
install use any Linux partitions. Usually I would tell it to put grub
on the boot partition install of on the MBR, but I was not presented
that option with Fedora 9.
However, it seems to have just magically worked -- my Windows XP boots
if I select "other" from the grub menu. I used to think that grub
overwrote the Windows MBR and that this could not work. Is this a
recent change with grub or somehow just an anomaly?
Thanks,
Mike
