       That's not even getting into the obvious other technical limitations   
   you're going to run niot with this kind of stuff.

       Windows will also have problems if you partition an sdcard or use   
   some Linux format on it. This is all kind of obvious really. If you are   
   using a product to "be compatible" then perhaps you shouldn't fuck around   
   with it. You might make it so that it's not "compatible" anymore.   
      
       It can be dangerous when you take the training wheels off.
