Hello, I've read this many times, and I think it's wrong. - MacOSX can read and write Guid Partition Table, which supports up to 128 partitions - GNU/Linux can also do this - Windows XP can only understand and boot from Master Boot Record (up to 4 primary partitions, a bit more logical partitions) - provided you use the correct bootloader, Linux can also boot from GPT (lilo and grub provided by most distros cannot) - to be able to boot Windows, the trick is to build a MBR that acts as a pointer to 4 partitions defined in the GPT ... I guess that doing the same trick with logical partitions should also be possible (provided you have left some free space on your disk to put the extended partition records) So, theorically, MacOS, Linux and Windows are all able to see every partition on you disk. Practically, tools like Apple's DiskUtils and rEFIt only do this for the 4 first GPT partitions which are mapped to the 4 primary MBR partitions.
