Most home users don't "install" Windows. Most home users can't "install" it -- they can only re-image their system with the manufacturer's included image CD's. Which, sadly, will gladly step on not just the MBR and partition table, but everything else on the primary physical disk. Go buh-bye. Needless to say, MS doesn't care a great deal about the possibility that -other- operating systems might co-exist. Of course, the fact that that wipes Windows data as well shows how little they truly do care...
