Communicating With the Other Half: NTFS Support in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Unfortunately, Microsoft has kept many of the internal details of NTFS
| secret, and the filesystem has changed with each new version of Windows. The
| secrecy makes it difficult for third parties, and particularly for open
| source developers, to write reliable NTFS drivers. In the case of a file
| system, an unreliable driver can translate into lost data, so NTFS support
| (particularly read/write NTFS support) has been slow in coming to Linux.
|
| Fortunately, this picture is beginning to change, with several NTFS drivers
| now available for Linux. These drivers enable you to read from, and even to
| write to, NTFS partitions, including removable media formatted with NTFS. If
| you dual-boot between Linux and Windows, this will enable you to eliminate
| any FAT partition you might otherwise use for data exchange. Even if you
| don’t let Windows near your hard disks, NTFS support will enable you to read
| removable disks that others have formatted with NTFS.

Details trickle out about EC Vista probe
,----[ Quote ]
| The Commission said earlier this month that it
| does have concerns about Microsoft Vista but
| declined to give full details of those concerns
| because of the "delicate legal situation"
| surrounding the Vista anticompetition debate.
|
| Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes discussed
| the situation with Microsoft's chief executive,
| Steve Ballmer, in August, when she warned that
| the Commission could not give Vista a "green
| light" before it was launched.
