 well, anecdotally, since 12.04 came out I've had someone (rather
 intelligent) show up in my office because they knew I knew something about
 Linux, and after installing ubuntu themselves they couldn't find their C:
 drive anymore. ... and unfortunately for them it wasn't just a re-run grub
 issue: they'd wiped the disk. on the plus side I now know a bit more about
 ntfs partition recovery & salvage than I used to.
