The software raid implementation in windows is a far cry from the linux
version. Windows can't boot from their "dynamic" arrays, linux can.
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.
And
the raid in linux is more transparent to the software, as the linux raid
is just another device as far as the software is concerned. The kernel
keeps full isolation and control.
I don't remember seeing anything change after the disk conversion in
windows.
