I'm Pierre Schweitzer, one of the ReactOS developers. This is a free operating system that aims to re-implement Windows, but this time with an open source license.

ReactOS now supports reading files from NTFS volume. This was a long awaited feature people were asking for. And here it is.

You can see what I'm talking about on the three pictures [included in the fine article].

    Understood. The kernel NTFS support is nothing more than a joke. But NTFS-3G using FUSE is not a kind of stunt of questionable value like ZFS-FUSE is. NTFS-3G is a fully performant first class file system.

    If you want a read-write FS to share between linux-BSD-OSX-Windows (i.e., removable media) - even any two of those really, NTFS is pretty much the only choice except for the abomination of FAT.

    except for the abomination of FAT

    FAT is a great file system for 360kB floppy disks. Which is what it was designed for. It wasn't designed for disks of several hundred gigabytes.

    Calling it an abomination does not do justice to the file system.
