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!

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!
