Ok, so you're not talking about sata drives; you're talking about the achi compatibility mode.
I understand now. I don't know if it's true or not that they are doing that just to try to keep people from going back to XP. If I were MS, I wouldn't really want people going back, either. For MS, it's kind of like buying a new house before you sell your old one and having to keep them both up.
