Let's look at some assumptions and facts.
2.) Assumption - Microsoft knows it is possible...(After all...Windows 98 and NTFS have both been around for a long enough time to figure out these anomalies, and if someone is going to figure it out first...they are the most likely candidate.)
***Fact*** Microsoft states on its knowledge base that this is impossible.
3.) Assumption - Microsoft is concealing the truth for a particular advantage.
***Fact*** No such advantage exists (The use of NTFS over FAT32 has never been a decisive factor in someone upgrading to Windows 2000 or XP.)
***Fact*** 99% of good techs state that doing this is also impossible, or the way to do this has not been figured out by them.
4.) Assumption - The tech that claims to have figured this out is smarter than we are...probably also taller and better in bed.
So I hope this gets you thinking on where this tech was actually going with this...either he simply wanted to fake technical superiority hoping someone would buy into it without calling him on the specifics...or he just simply misunderstood something he read on the web.
There's my 2 cents...
1.) Assumption - It is possible to install Windows
98 on an NTFS partition.
2.) Assumption - Microsoft knows it is possible...(After all...Windows 98 and NTFS have both been around for a long enough time to figure out these anomalies, and if someone is going to figure it out first...they are the most likely candidate.)
***Fact*** Microsoft states on its knowledge base that this is impossible.
