#16 - nomdlev - You do realize that their implementation is simply a new layer on top of HFS, right? In fact, it isn't really a journaling file system, but instead a journaling application which uses the standard hive file system that MacOS has always used.
Microsoft's journaling file system will be a "real one" in the sense it will be totally native, and will fundementally change the way data is stored on the drive. MacOS's doesn't, and will never do that.
In addition, from the reports I've seen, it will have a dramatic affect on an already slow OS... killing performance by upwards of 15% to 20%. When your product is already substantially more expensive and substantially slower that the competition, do you really want to make it 20% slower?
While the Microsoft version will undoubtedly be slower than NTFS, I'm fairly confident it won't be as massive a hit as 20%.
So much for your "technically magnificent" file system. By the way, what exactly do you mean? It is doing nothing new, isn't native, and is slow. Why is it "magnificent"?
