I don't care, too. The only, but in my eyes and for my personal use significant, difference it makes, is that these partitions are uniformly accessible from different OSs. Of course, only from those, which see GPT partitions. I agree that the idea of evolving MBR to GPT was terrible. But it is there, as there are different OSs and different opinions, sometimes in the same computer system or human head. -- Dipl.-Math.
