I think the MS stuff is a good idea. I have no idea why in this day and age
people need to be thinking about "C" & "D" esp when
most comps have stopped using "A & B" coz the entire fdd
format is just about to disappear.....so even though A & B are no
more....A & B survive in...C & D etc..

"Oh yes the main disk will be called "C" because there used
to be these removable disks which came before internal hdd'es & were
called "floppies"".

& it's time that storage pool tech made it's way from the SAN & onto std
machines.

It's also good coz it will make the other storage pool ppl bring their
offerings up the same level of usability. e.g. the Linux LVM etc is very
good but.........I'd not recommend it to my mum.
