I haven't used Windows much since Windows 2000, but doesn't Windows also have something similar to this? There's been several instances where for some reason or other the chkdisk/scandisk (or whatever it's called) ran during boot up with a message no more ominous than fsck's. What's the difference?

1. Linux should do better than Windows, not use Windows as an excuse

2. I didn't get that message in Windows yet, but I'd bet that at least it stays on screen long enough to read it and doesn't immediately reboot for no good reason.
