And all that blather has nothing to do with any warnings, seen or not > Anyways, I didn't see any warning, and the Ubuntu tech support said > this is a bug that it didn't detect Vista. Really? Care to show us where you found that particular lie? > Also, the word "Partition" may have a strong "erasing the whole hard > drive" connotation to the Linux guys. No, it has not. It has to do with the consequences. One of them being that after partitioning, the FS has to be formatted. Particularly if it was NTFS before > But it also may have a "dividing the data" connotation to people. It had *never* to do with "dividing data" It was always about filesystems, not data I don't care where you found that particularly absurd connotation, but it is extremely idiotic > Depending on its usage, > sometimes people may think that it is merely creating a new partition > for the Linux installation. So between the two possible meanings, why > assuming there is absolutely no confusion and just go ahead with the > destructive action? Because that bloke actually clicked "OK" After being introduced to an explanation what happens next -- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
