Of course that presupposes someone wants or needs a partition over 32GB!:-)
Of course, with the advent Media Center PCs and the ability to use a PC as
you would a PVR, it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Given the price of BootIt and certainly Partition Magic, if that were my
only reason for acquiring the application, at least under normal
circumstances, I'd either stick with 32GB or find some other means of
getting around the limitation.
