The problem isn't necessarily whether it will work on not. I'm fairly certain it will work 90-95% of the time. And that might be enough. But it's that last 10% where I might need to do something right now and it will only work in Windows and will only work on bare metal.

I hit that use case maybe once a year. Last year I was helping someone read an old thumb drive they had with some important pictures on it. It was formatted with some old version of NTFS and wouldn't mount on my linux desktop. It opened completely fine in Windows...which also gave me a virus.

Thanks a lot Kevin.
