NTFS5's new features appeal to Win2K users
I've had a love-hate relationship with NTFS since the Windows NT 3.1 days.

Windows XP is NTFS 5... That should be obvious for two reasons: #1. WinXP offers both Disk Compression and Quotas, which the article states were new features in NTFS 5. Therefore logic clearly dictates that WinXP must use NTFS 5. #2. WinXP came out after Win2000, so we'd expect it to have all the newest stuff (ie: If Win2000 had it, then WinXP should also have it... Win2000 had NTFS 5...)

The author seems to ignore one important advantage of NTFS:
Stop unauthorized users from installing or tinkering with
e.g. system files - an essential feature in corporate environments (reduce TCO!).

With out even doing any technical analysis, a simple reality check would suffice to say that there would be a whole bunch of extremely slow servers if that statement was valid.
