Yeah. Windows has had viral installers for quite a while, as well as
agreements that made it virtually impossible to get or retain Linux
partition. Vista, for instance, will erase the MBR, making exiting Linux
partitions unreachable. It's now payback time for script kiddies. Hand over
that blue pill, matie.
Best wishes,
