Windows protects its system files from deletion, but only when it is controlling the system. When user is accessing partition with installed windows from Linux, that protection does not exist, so one can overwrite or delete important files preventing Windows from starting.
Rather lame excuse. For instance, what is with ntfs partitions other then those holding the OS?
Problem is similar to UAC in Vista. It failed because it was giving too many warnings to be usable.
No, it didn't give too much warnings, it just showed how stupid many applications had been programmed because MS had been to lax in forcing the right behaviour. And then MS made that dumb decision for Win7 to enable the user to switch off the warnings completely, rendering all the protection UAC offers obsolete.
