That is not just an MS issue but also a hardware manufacture issue.
The largest consumer drives right now are 1.5 TB. If I remember XP
will be non supported in a few years.
I expect MS will come up with a programming fix for this.
XP was released when? I do not think they thought far enough in the
future to see the limitations of Disk size that are mentioned.
I am Glad that Mac's do not have this, but they also have been
releasing more new releases of their OS that Windows have.
Also the Intel Mac is how old?

Tom, I was happy to read that OS X does not have this issue
(accommodates sectors larger than 512 bytes). The article explained
this as a BIOS issue in Windows and said Vista, W7 have work-around
fixes. MS has not endorsed replacing BIOS with EFI, have they?
Thank you,
