Yes, it's just a ruse really. Let M$ trash the partition table so that
only Ubuntu can be installed because OEM's don't give users the actual
installation media to recover Vista.

Who cares how the free space is created? If the Vista partition is
borked by the Vista partition tool then it's just more room for Ubuntu.

The second link did provide a Ubuntu tool to do the partitioning.
