NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍
...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

Microsoft really really hated open source some time ago. Now they seem to have embraced it, however some still think that might be an attempt to EEE.
Still, I suppose Microsoft doesn't think replacing the Windows default filesystem is a sound investment at this point even if the political resistance to such a change is, supposedly, gone.
Also NTFS is constantly evolving and it's not the same as 30 years ago.
Microsoft has a replacement called reFS but I don't know what happened to it
It's sorta kinda usable but not really? Its main purpose seems to be
causing permanent data corruption inISCSI storage for Veeam backup appliances.You got that right!!
It's sort of around, but it seems to be more aimed at servers than consumer machines.
