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].

It's the MSFT business model. [google.com]
Want a continuous trail of brokenness?
Just commit your ecosystem to M$'s junk and M$'s business model.
Expecting someone else to perfectly duplicate that ongoing brokenness is folly.
Reimplementing M$ technologies is strictly for LEGACY apps from which folks can't seem to free themselves.
All the really interesting stuff is happening in the land of FOSS anyway.
Everyone with the slightest bit of sense has realized that having a M$ ecosystem with those wide-open backdoors is playing Russian Roulette with all the cylinders loaded.
