For administrators on large networks, this makes sense. Yet, for home users, who like performance w/o the worry for ACLs (remember FAT?) it seems to me that there is an issue here about who's targeting whom. WinFS on Reiser4 would be awesome for home users. For network admins... it just might be a big pain, I suppose, without ACLs, anyways. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
