Brian,
My take is that supermount was dressed up to look like windows to make
LM more accessible to newbies and generally easier to use, and that in
itself is admirable, despite it getting in the way of people who came to
Unix a while back. It is a pity it only works with windows floppies but
hopefully that will be fixed.
