When the mail app can remove encoded attachments from mail messages, I'll be all over it. See Bugzilla Bug 2920 (which is over 3 years old) for details.
It seems that premium products carry higher levels of tech support. I've called tech support on HP Pavillions and Dell Dimensions and waited for hours to talk to someone. Yet when I've called for support on HP Vectras and Kayaks, and Dell Optiplex and Poweredge machines, a capable tech was on the line in about 5 minutes.
Customer loyalty is more important for high end corporate stuff. Yet with consumer level products, it's cheaper to piss off the customer than to provide adequate support.
WinNT will sometimes get upset (BSOD) if a portion of its partition crosses the first 2GB of the disk. To make it worse, NT requires a pagefile at least the same size as your RAM. If you use the default pagefile settings which put it in C:\ then your partition may be too big to fit all the other OS partitions within the 2GB limit. The pagefile doesn't need to be inside the first 2GB, so put the pagefile on a logical drive within an extended partition. Use FAT16 and 32K cluster size to improve performance. You can use Partition Magic to set the cluster size.
It's a good idea to setup the NT pagefile like this anyway. Much faster. You can also use the same pagefile for multiple NT installations.
