Extended partition

While it is more of a nuisance than a show-stopper, no modern OS should require a primary partition on the PC platform. Why not support running from extended partitions?

Of course, Longhorn is not the only OS with that failing, nor is it the only one with an installer that goes right ahead with an installation that won't work. But you'd think that Microsoft could afford to hire someone to fix this irritation.
