Not nescessarily. I'm thinking specifically of some of the more exotic forensic data-recovery software. Think Joe User (Joe Friday?) prefers to use *nix, however, the software he uses to simplify gathering all the various data he needs for an investigation (could be law-related, could be an intrusion, etc.) runs only on Windows. It'd be nice to grab an image of the drive with dd and work with it on his Linux machine. Just a note... this might be possible today... I believe setting up raw disk access for an actual disk or a file is possible under Wine currently... It would be nice to handle this case in a somewhat more regular-person-friendly way - and it's logical to include handling of sandboxed raw disk access in the same way. --tim
