Wouldn't it behoove MS, to implement the /home concept (separating the OS from the users' data in different partitions) ?
Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this.
It would make it so much easier for all the support people (and users - who do their own thing)
Any ideas ?
This possibility exists for a very long time in windows (to be able to mount a ntfs partition as a directory) it is just not used by default, you need to do it yourself http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889
That was my point - is was not "default"

Duaine, what I wonder a bit about is why you do not ask that question to Microsoft as they are the only ones to give you an authoritative answer. Asking that question here only leads to speculation why they did not do that. I doubt there is a policy by them which forbids you to ask them that question and that is what I would consider the most natural thing to do: Ask directly the vendor of the operating system about the reasons for their design decisions ad not someone else who is unrelated to it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
