Yes, interesting you mention that. I have a theory, especially when
Microsoft supports the idea when they won't be making money from it.

Or will they?

Last I heard, the new Windows Vista is such a pig, it needs all this
to boot in the same time XP boots.

They tossed out the NTFS file system, then they didn't. There's more
to this then meets the eye.

What theories you do have?
