It's not funny. Of course Microsoft will have a KB entry about removing Linux - there are several. 2 of them are linked to in my bookmarks (see sig block).

I've seen this before, I particularly like the line

i like this line :

Additionally, Linux recognizes more than 40 different partition types, including the following:
• FAT 12 (Type 01)
• FAT 16 > 32 M Primary (Type 06)
• FAT 16 Extended (Type 05)
• FAT 32 w/o LBA Primary (Type 0b)
• FAT 32 w/LBA Primary (Type 0c)
• FAT 16 w/LBA (Type 0e)
• FAT 16 w/LBA Extended (Type 0f)

hmm, could they be implying Linux is superior at supporting more stuff?

Wow, it's all rational and honest. Ballmer must not've had anything to do with it...

Microsoft Knowledge base isn't that an oxymoron?

Dunno, but I was pissed when I discovered that SP1 for 2003 breaks the LSI fibre channel adapter in Device manager, making it unusable. remove SP, works. I actually discovered something! Woohoo.

Still, hasn't been fixed yet.

Yes, just like Microsoft Works.
And you know the M$'s tactics is to make innocent nothing knowing M$ Windows users to think the way m$ wants, isn't it?

Because of this oxymorons become brands.
