NTFS Versions

Post by knowmad »

It's great to see so much work being done in so many parts of the project :D . My question is the NTFS driver available from Microsoft feature complete? I may very well be wrong, but as far as I know very little, if any work was done on the driver that Coder Trevor had worked on for two separate years under GSOC.
If that work he has done not been or very little developed but the MS driver is complete then why go the extra effort to even attempt to use the old driver?

Because microsoft's NTFS driver can't be included legally, people have just been testing the version included with windows xp/2003. It's kind of a non issue atm anyway until ReactOS becomes more stable and feature complete. And by the time ReactOS reaches the point of being more viable for daily use the open source NTFS driver will probably have progressed farther.

Of course it's feature complete, but it's not open source. ;)
