Well, to be fair to this anonymous teacher, it looks like Dynamic 
Drives first appeared in Windows 2000... a full year (or so) before LVM 
went stable.  So if the last time he looked was when Win2000 was 
released, then he's off the hook (sort of).

And yes, I know that LVM was around before 2000.  However, if even the 
geeks had to search around to find a custom patch for their kernel, you 
*know* that a Win-head wouldn't have even heard of it.  The true 
release for all normal people was 2.4.0.
