Microsoft Announces ReFS, a New Filesystem For Windows 8

bonch writes "Microsoft has shared details about its new filesystem called ReFS, which stands for Resilient File System. Codenamed 'Protogon,' ReFS will first appear as the storage system for Windows Server and later be offered to Windows clients. Microsoft plans to deprecate lesser-used NTFS features while maintaining 'a high degree of compatibility' for most uses. NTFS has been criticized in the past for its inelegant architecture."

  1. Hi, GreatBunzinni--a message from the accused by Overly+Critical+Guy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hi, GreatBunzinni. How do I know it's you? Read on.

    I'm getting sick of this crap. You've been anonymously following my posts for months now, accusing me of being bonch, SharkLaser, and others. And now you're repeatedly getting upmods for it.

    This is not bonch. I don't follow a script. The post you cited from me about rounded rectangles was in response to someone who joked that Apple was suing over rounded rectangles, so of course my post is going to sound similar to someone else who agrees with me. All you did was go through a site that gets thousands of comments a day and round up a bunch of people who fall into the same spectrum on their positions. You can do that with any position--pro-Linux, pro-Google, pro-Microsoft, pro-Oracle, pro-whatever.

    If you want to talk about shills posting on multiple accounts, why don't you explain why your anonymous post looks an awful lot like this post by GreatBunzinni? You even tried to link to the same posts, though you didn't format it correctly that time. You've accidentally outed yourself.

    In the last month, the accusations of multiple accounts, "shills", and other conspiracy theories has exploded, and it's getting regularly modded up. Accused accounts are actually getting downmods now on legitimate posts. As of this writing, your post is almost +5 Informative. The moderation system has jumped the shark.

    So, screw you, GreatBunzinni, for contributing to the chaos of the discussion, trying to force people off the site whose opinions you don't like, and getting people to go along with it.

    Signed,
    NOT bonch
