[ale] A bitt too much

[Glenn C. Lasher Jr.]

In typical Microsoft fashion, the information provided is inaccurate, or
at least, leaves something out.  It assumes you have a two-partition
system.

On another note, I have a friend in Seattle who just last month left his
position at Microsoft, and he tells me there is a lot of dissidence in
Microsoft's ranks, and thet he is not the only one to have been working
there, but running Linux secretly at home.  Such dissidence could be the
root cause of the phrasing found in this particular technote, i.e., what
the writer is really saying is, "Linux is much more versatile, you
probably shouldn't do this" in a manner so as to get past the censors.
