[ Thank you for "PartitionMagic" - crucially important for home / personal computer users, at least in my own history. ]

And, I wonder if a (corporate) development organization's overall cultural friction around critical / negative feedback -- in this case integration issues in the technical sense of pulling together modules built by subteams to compose a final product -- could be worth investigating when challenging metrics like the above are identified?

This "18 steps" seems like a problem. And I wonder if it's a prioritized concern at SAM.

SNARK: The "magic" could be how corporate culture is communicated to users merely through usage of Samsung Magician.

Thank you and to all the others who remember and liked PartitonMagic. It makes an old programmer feel good to know that something he worked on 30 years ago made a difference.

BTW: I am currently working on a hobby project called Didgets. It is an object store that does a lot of cool file system stuff and relational table manipulation and analysis. It is available for free download at http://www.didgets.com

The install process is to unzip the downloaded file to a directory. The uninstall process is to delete that directory.

PartitionMagic was one of the first programs to make me feel like I was in control of my computer. I don't think about it much but looking back it was an important part of my development as a technologist. You made a difference in lots of lives I'm sure!

I LOVED Partition Magic. It really was magic!

It was pretty important at the time to make room for dual-booting Linux. Linux setup tools couldn't do it back then, particularly shrinking FAT let alone NTFS filesystems. PartitionMagic made it super easy. It felt slightly wrong to need a Windows software to install Linux, but great tool.

I joined the startup making PartitionMagic after I saw a prototype. I had just wasted another half day repartitioning my 80MB hard drive so I could dual boot OS/2 while working at Novell.

What a blast from the past. Partition magic was a huge part of our journey discovering and loving computers here with my friends. Hello and thank you from France !

PartitionMagic saved me so many times. Fantastic software to fix whatever Disk Management broke.

Yes, it was magic. Back in the good ol' days, I used quite a few times to resize disks and if my memory is right, to recover deleted partitions.

Thank you for PartitionMagic.
