Next Windows to Have New Filesystem

ocipio writes: "Microsoft is currently planning a new filesystem. Its planned that the new filesystem will make searches easier, faster, and more reliable. Windows will also be less likely to break, and easier to fix when it does. The new technology will cause practically all Microsoft products to be rewritten to take advantage of it. Called Object File System, OFS will be found in the next major Windows release, codenamed Longhorn. More information can be found here at CNET."

How much do you want to bet this breaks samba. How much do you want to bet that Microsoft won't release enough information for the samba team to quickly support the new file system. How much do you want to bet this has nothing to do with making a better file system and more to do with killing non-Microsoft servers. I would give any other company the benefit of the doubt. Microsoft's history, however, proves everything they do is to increase marketshare and nothing to do with making a better OS.
