From the WinBeta subforum of reboot.pro:

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].

    IIRC they can't work from ms source even of it's freely available. The project goes to great lengths to reverse engineer the functionality in a manner that limits the chance of legal action.

    Does ntfs 3g have Microsoft code in it? I have never heard that before.

    You misunderstand, no big deal.

    NTFS-3G is not MS source. Admittedly, it isn't unequivocally capital-F Free software, but MS has no claim to it.
