Actually, in my experience, what NT based versions of Windows want is to
be able to write a bootloader to a primary partition, which must
therefore be some variant of FAT or NTFS (or presumably HPFS in some
ancient cases).
The rest can go on a logical partition, and the NT install program will
automatically set up an extended partition with a logical partition
rather than have another primary partition on the same disk.
