You could maybe persuade upper IT mgmt or whoever to get a site-wide license to
BootIt. (Bootit supports "165/A5h: xBSD" partition slice formatting (at least if
one has that syntax on hand, it is not in all "fs type?" menus. And instruct the
users to image their FS weekly if the data is company-valuable. (BootIt can run
before the OS does). That way your company can run the OS forever, maybe
much longer without upgrade (best-case scenario)... Saving money on both
instances... Reducing trouble ticket calls... (Batch imaging at the Bootit (dual-)boot
menu is possible)... Upgrading hardware? image to a new disk, put it in the next
machine. Etc...
(Reasons why not exist, I'm sure, but too optimistic to think of them, before any
next post in this thread).
