How Windows NTFS finally made it into Linux

Re: Am I missing something?

It depends. Maybe you're using something I don't know about, as I try not to write to NTFS very often, but if you're using the traditional methods, you'll either get something which works but slowly or something which balks when presented with unusual drives. Another restriction on both is that they often can't deal with a NTFS disk that wasn't cleanly written and unmounted, which used to be normal when Windows shut down, but now doesn't happen by default unless the user either restarts or changes a relatively hidden setting. Supposedly, this version should run fast and support that, so while I don't need it now, I'll welcome it.
