I get the humor, but based on this and your previous remarks regarding Windows, you're not an authority on Windows or its users - average or otherwise. It does FreeBSD a disservice when its supporters slam other platforms and implicitly (and explicitly on occasion) denigrate users of such. > > Since Windows 2000, the > > Setup program allows for deletion of partitions, creating one or more > > new partitions, formatting them, etc. > > Even DOS could do that. That is correct. However, in an earlier message you wrote: >"Usually, any MICROS~1 operating system attempts to completely wipe the disk it wants to install on," That might give the impression that the Setup procedure was inflexible. I assume your use of "MICROS~1" is some sort of clever dig at Microsoft, but this is 2009 - not 1995 - and for the "average Windows user" it's meaningless and confusing. For those who do understand it, they know having 8dot3 filenames was a FEATURE, a benefit of the platform to allow applications that weren't aware of long file names to continue working.
