This is actually not even slightly true, since Windows 2000 (and 
possibly NT), one has been able to mount partitions to sub foulders.
Allowing you to have

C:\My Documets\ -> hda
C:\Windows -> hdb
C:\Program Files -> hdc

The above is also incredibly easy to do using the GUI tools (not to say 
it isn't with linux!).

Yes it does :)

Looks like it isn't just the Windows croud that spreads fud ;)
