Let's say Windows is getting easier. It's not always been easy to work with.
It's just been the dormant and all that we ever knew. But most people have
no idea how to fdisk a new hard drive and format it from a Windows 3.1, 98,
98SE, ME, etc. 2000 and XP are the first that do the partition and format
for you.
