Format cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) Cannot lock the drive. The volume is still in use.
2k added several features to ntfs that were long overdue -- disk quotas, encryption and mount points.
mount points allow you to mount a volume as a directory, just like unix.
regardless, in terms of ftp chroot is applicable irrespective of the unlining file system structure, assuming some level of heirachy (sp?) exists.
"is there even a root at all?" yes. each drive has a root directory.
don't get me wrong on this.. i much prefer unix over windows any day, however i choose be informed about the alternatives, and you're a fool if you ignore what feature exist in the opposing camp.
i hate to say this, but from what i've read of ii6, it looks like microsoft are finially listening to sysadmin.
check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/03/IIS 6/IIS6.asp
the main things that jump out at me are it uses xml as their metabase (finially i can use my perl scripts to *eaisly* maintain iis sties) and ftp *finially* supports chroot.
assuming you can get broadband at all in australia.
i live 12 minutes from perth's cbd, and all i can get is 56k modem dialup.
on top of that, most isp's in australia charge through the nose for ip. most isps in australia should get traffic at no more than 4 cents per meg. at work we pay 6.5 cents per meg (wiredcity), while most isps charge at least 11 cents per meg. grr.
i have a friend who lives adjacent to the cbd (east perth) who can only get 28.8k dialup... something to do with telstra running fibre to his local loop and setting the limit on the transievers to 28.8k.
where i work we have to put iis boxes on the net. i don't like this, so i've written a program that runs on your firewall and filters inbound http requests.
"patching" all our iis boxes for codered took me approx 30 seconds:)
something i thought of a while ago - we have graphic accelerating hardware, but to me i don't care how good a game looks, and there's an absolute limit as to how far we can go with 3d acceleration.
what we really need is a card dedicated to accelerating ai. this would be tricky, but from some guys who i've spoken to about this who know much more about ai that i do, it should be possible.

*sulks*
perhaps they should change that for perl 6.
hang on, they have :
$foo : a string
@foo[n] : nth element of @foo
%foo{key} : value associated with 'key' in hash %foo
i guess because 2.4 is supposed to be "stable".
why major changes are made to it (VM) is beyond me.
