It's no more difficult to make your non-boot partitions extended partitions rather than primary partitions, so there's no reason not to, even though it's very rare that most people will run out of primary partitions anyway.

You may run out if you've set up a primary partition for Windows and a primary for data, and then you want to install more versions of Windows or some Unixen, or whatever the flavour of the week is. [note: Unixen can typically share /boot, which needs to be an/on a primary partition].


Well I know I will always be using one OS,

And on the above post that I made.. I forgot to mention that both of them are primary now
