From: mikebw at bilow.bilow.uu.ids.net (Mike Bilow) On the other hand, I doubt there is any real plan or plot by Microsoft, since simple arrogance would be an adequate explanation. Bill Gates didn't get to be the richest man in the world because he ignored potential competitive threats. Both Windows NT and Windows 95 disable any active partition flag for either other operating systems or multiboot loaders. This behavior was also present in DOS at least as early as 4.0, although no one probably noticed. I'm sure that was no accident. Dale Dale Worley worley at world.std.com -- I get the feeling that the adherents of Anarchism and similar anti-government political ideas are like the people who want to start their own business so that they can "be their own boss" and not have anyone tell them to do things they don't want to do. As a business owner, let me assure you that "being your own boss" means that *you* get to tell *yourself* to do those things you don't want to do, or else you're out of business, pronto. I suspect that practical Anarchism would be very similar.
