It's a little hard to have a Mac formatted hard disk without a driver
in its driver partition. As for devices from other boxes, PC Exchange,
an "out of the box" OS component, can load drivers if they don't have one.

I have a great idea. Why don't you just shut the HELL up about what Macs 
can and can't do until you try using one? You don't catch me shooting my
mouth off about what you can and can't do with a Windows box, even though
I use them daily and hate every minute of it.

There's nothing to "admit" or "acknowledge". It's your opinion that it's
a stupid setup, nothing more. Not everyone shares that opinion.
