Does no one realize that there are THREE variations of the NTFS and that one of them is readable (and experimentally writeable) by linux, and more work on read/write for the newer two is likely to be stalled by threats or the potential for threats of legal action? Microsoft is not going to give us a chance to take their market away, not that we are really trying. We're about choices, but we are being blocked from staying compatible by Microsoft paranoia.
