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.
