#1 reason this won't happen anytime soon is because Microsoft does _not_
publish the specifications for NTFS and would only share them with companies
that are willing to pay extremely large amounts of money on a continuing
basis with all kinds of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in place. These
companies would most likely have to pay a royalty/license fee for every
product sold that utilized this knowledge too.
Microsoft has _not_ developed a Linux read/write driver for NTFS, Microsoft is
_not_ going to support any that may be developed. Where does the end user go
for support? What support options does the NTFS-3G project offer? Where does
SUSE/Novell turn for support of NTFS?
NTFS-3G will support this. I will go to NTFS-3G for support. I would
open bug report at their site, if I find something.
Microsoft never supported Linux, we (Linuxoids) always supported
ourselves. This case is no different.
Plus, we can label such a feature as "experimental".
