Well that's a steaming crock of ... stuff. Especially when they have a bug in the system that limits machines to the first 8 GB. Naturally people are going to want the rest of their disk to act like a "normal" part of the system. Even if I didn't have that limitation, I sure as heck wouldn't want a disk corruption in the wrong place effectively wiping out my entire drive! When a drive was only 300 MB you didn't lose much, but when it's 30 GB it's a little more serious. Gaaah, some days a guy just really wants to strangle Steve Jobs.
