Re: NTFS driver (was: ReactOS GPL vs. proprietary drivers)
BTW, it would be interesting if one could check, try out what's Longhorn's NTFS version numbers (i.e. if it changed or not). E.g. ntfsresize -i /device would tell it. Longhorn doesn't use NTFS, it uses a new filesystem called WinFS, even if it's probably based on NTFS.

Yes, this was the first wave of Microsoft marketing.

But you missed the tons of corrections, explanations later on ;) First hit by google: http://insight.zdnet.co.uk/software/developer/0,39020469,39117164,00.htm WinFS isn't a filesystem. It's a date storage technology on top of NTFS. Szaka
From what I have read and know WinFS is NTFS augmented by SQL Server and one or two other services, at the root it's NTFS, however, just because you can get at some data, doesn't mean one can get at all, at least easily.

Nevertheless, I too wonder what ntfsresize -i /device would do on a Longhorn... is the command "ntfsresize" still there BTW? regards, Jakob
