Originally posted by startzz View PostIts just that no one really needs that stuff. Windows has its own ntfs, exfat, fat32 filesystems, its more than enough for everything. And there really is no point in supporting so many linux home-made quality filesystems, that are all the time in alpha state, and before it reaches stable, it goes obsolete. And its better to use the whole package, you will not see anyone driving a car, that is build from 10 different car manufacturers parts.

Addionally the same multipicity of drivers on windows could give us cheaper SSD's. NTFS really isn't built for the contraints of flash, so manufactuers add fancy controllers to hide it behind a scsi interface, instead of having cheap drives that a flash fileystem can interact with on a more direct level (read/write blocks, free, wear leveleing, etc )
The lack of filesystem diversity in Windows means any new storage medium is pretty much forced to shoehorn itself into existing interfaces, wheras filesystem exprimenation would allow more suitible interface to be exposed for each sort of storage medium.
