Hi Frederic,

Microsoft does not have a reason for assisting people in using 
a dual-boot system. Why should they?? :)

Lots of linux users are not aware that such a driver *can* 
exist. I didn't until a month before I started working on this
project. ;)

I think *lots* of linux users would/could use a utility like 
this. I do see a reason for including it with a _linux 
distribution_. ;)

Let me re-post what I wrote earlier.

Why include a Windows Utility with Linux??
------------------------------------------
- I think of this as a 'migration' utility rather than a 
  _Windows Utility_.
- Just as support for fat and ntfs(?) in Linux makes a dual-boot
  worth trying, the reverse (support for ext2 in NT) does make 
  sense especially in the context of a dual boot system and a 
  user transitioning from Windows to Linux.

Regards,
Manoj
