Even better, this will disable it. For now, it's probably for the
best. Microsoft has been extremely tolerant in allowing me to help
these customers, but if it turns into a wide-scale software distribution
business, I can see them sending lawyers my way. If I personally touch
the NTFS driver in Linux before some reasonable legal limit expires,
they could do some very unpleasant things.
