It's a shame it's closed too, since it's a very nice filesystem. It's
complete with streams, ACLs, junctions, hard links, aliai, symbolic links
and reparse points. (Yes, all of them.)

But then, that's really the sad story of Windows in a nutshell: Some great
technology that will never be utilized properly. NTFS and the NT kernel
stick out in my mind....
