I'm also remembering now that one of the reasons stock partition tools 
would not handle NTFS in the past was the sensitivity to MS patents / 
copyright on NTFS - something that Fedora/RH avoid but some other 
distros disregard.  That's the same reason  you don't get your Windows 
file partitions mounted by default on  stock Fedora/RH install and other 
distros do.  So I'm curious as to how gparted is now OK w/ carrying NTFS 
code.
