OTOH, Linux's FDISK will not only delete MS partitions (a damn fine
idea) but also _create_ them in many circumstances where MS FDISK either
refuses or stuffs it up. So, Linux can help MS software work, but not
vice-versa. You should also note that MS SETUP's default reaction to
partitions which it does not understand is to _silently_ delete them!
That does remind one of MS itself reacting to competition, does it not?
