I find it hilarious how there are all these "mature" operating systems like FreeBSD and Solaris which still haven't implemented installation into extended partitions.

Hey guys, let us know when you finished porting to x86.

Windows won't do it either. Though it does support the new x86 partition table format (GPT?) which removes the primary/logical distinction.
