When did that start - or are you just looking at the non-server
versions? I don't have it around now, but I'm fairly sure I was able to
take a windows 2000 server and have it clone itself to a VMware
appliance setup that first exported an iscsi partition, then after the
software mirroring completed, booted from it. And unlike linux, the
windows version was able to convert a running non-mirrored partition
into a dynamic disk, and then mirror it.

I don't remember seeing anything change after the disk conversion in
windows.
