I'm not whining, you are.

If 2 OS'es are loaded (but only 1 booted at once) & one can read the
other's files & paritions & the other can not then that will skew
things.

If MS ever chooses to include (even if via download) the ability to read
say a OSX partiton of a Reiser FS one then being booted into either will be
neutral. Till then I can read my Windows stuff while in Linux but not v.v.
so things are skewed.
