What about NTFS? If they ever get around to merging NT and Windows 9x
they might ditch FAT-like FS's altogether. Isn't NTFS basically sound?
NT supports HPFS too as I recall.... it could easily enough become the
lowest-common denominator for cross-platform FS's. Seems like there was
a reason NTFS was better for NT than HPFS though, HPFS didn't support
ownership or something like that.
