The people who run Microsoft habitually "sabotage" competitors - where it's by the default setting to NOT recognise non NTFS partitions, or not allow you to read or write from non NTFS partions - and anything that competes with their cash cow - the always in upgrade mode "MS OFFICE" - unless it's really a crap go no where program, they do seem to have a habit of kind of making it that much more of a crap fest to use and work with.
