Hey, don't sh*t on him because he's stating a (true) fact - a Windows bootCD exists, and as you say is very limited. The point is, it is not provided, endorsed or even allowed in any way by M$ and as such unusable in a context such as the article's. It's a last-resort tool for security 'specialists' unaware of Linux Live CDs and NTFS support in Linux.

It was worth mentioning, and in fact strenghtens the article in the fact that M$ COULD do it, but they don't, and they don't permit it. Only Linux/BSD allow it.
