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!

Why should they use anything else if NTFS had being great for 30 years?

idk who was dumb enough to upvote this but NTFS hasn't been great. That's why they're making a replacement called reFS

It stood the test of time. Is it up to par with modern alternatives? Mmm, no. But for a 30 years old tech - it's pretty freaking awesome!
