Someone with the knowledge (preferably Microsoft) should write a plugin 
to Win95 for NTFS so that people dont have to buy winNT to get the 
benifits of the filesystem - i know it can be done, as inside the kernal 
of win95 there is a _DOCUMENTED_ (amazing, isn't it :) interface between 
the kernal and the drivers for the filesystem - the only one currently 
offered is VFAT - which SUCKS...

Just a thought...

it would be nice NOT to have to buy Win95 though.. maybe there is a way 
using something akin to MSCDEX to map the drives.. hmm.. :)

any ideas???
