Next Windows to Have New Filesystem

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

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."

    I just love it when there's an MS article on /., as nothing else brings out the best and worst of the /. gang so clearly.

    Condemn MS in advance if you want, but I think the best approach is to view all announcements from MS the way we all would like to see Linux changes treated: I'll know what to think about it when there's evidence in hand. Before then, it's just vaporware and part of the background noise of the computer business.

    Moderators: Please do not moderate me up. I'm a conscientious karma objector!

    Well, I guess you got what you wanted then.
