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].

    Linux has had stable read and write support for NTFS since early 2007.
    What do you perceive as missing?

    I've had issues with corrupted NTFS volumes after extensive read/write sessions under GNU/Linux (specifically Slackware with NTFS-3G and FUSE) for several years now. These days, I'll only write to an NTFS volume over a network share; I don't dare mount the volume natively in GNU/Linux. Maybe it's just Slackware; maybe it's just my hardware. But I've learned my lesson the hard way.

    The rest of your reply is blatantly biased against Microsoft (MICROS~1? Really? Grow up!) but I stand by what I wrote about the ReactOS team wanting to reverse-engineer NTFS instead of relying on NTFS-3G/FUSE, as I got it directly from their website. You can claim otherwise if you want, but you'd be calling them liars, not me.
