Next Windows to Have New Filesystem

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-play-nice-with-others dept.

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."

    I don't think it is perfect example Linux catching up with Windows. After all Linux already has ReiserFS and Microsoft have just started development of their 'database' FS for Win32.

    You may ask what common in ReiserFS and database. Well, just look at it its whitepaper. The word 'database' is everywhere in it. Hans Reiser started to think about it long time ago. And they already are working on it.
