Presumably Microsoft fear making it easy to swap OSes and access the same data. "I can use Linux because if I get stuck I can just switch to Windows and still access my data" is a comfort that probably keeps people from even trying Linux (or other OSes)? Why else would MS not support BTRFS/ZFS/Ext or whatever? {I'm not saying that I think this works.} | ||

> Why else would MS not support BTRFS/ZFS/Ext or whatever? You seriously can’t think of another reason? File systems are complex. Maintenance is a huge burden. Getting them wrong is a liability. Reason enough to only support the bare minimum. And then, 99% of their users don’t care about any of those. NTFS is good enough | ||
