Now, now ;-) Drive letters aren't _that_ bad - MS and IBM just managed to screw up majorly by using the same partition ID for their filesystems. Actually, before DOS 6, MS supported the subst, join and assign utilities that allowed things similar to mount points (although _still_ not as powerful). For reasons unknown to me they removed support for join and assign in DOS 6 and above, leaving only subst supported. I still use that one heavily, though.
