I admit we still arenвЂ™t there but itвЂ™s almost only packaging issues now, and IвЂ™m confident about distros to understand this as a major enhancement to their product. The only reason I see to stick to windows will be the propriatery apps, which is not a big deal for most of them (except maybe office). The first time one will boot linux on his computer, he will be able to do almost all the things he used to do using windows. in Application Data, so that you keep your windows style tree. вЂ“ We could even imagine smarter applications that will recreate the Windows users under linux, mount your My Documents directory to /home/~, and then put everything beginning with a. вЂ“ Windows tree could be understood by distros, so that your music player will search your My Music directory. вЂ“ It could find your cross platform apps settings (Mozilla thunderbird mailboxes for instance) вЂ“ It could store you linux home directory somewhere in C:Documents and Settings~ so you keep your settings between sessions on the same computer Everyone who already convinced someone of giving a try to linux ran through this problem : People can still listen to their music, watch movies or read their documents, but they have to reboot each time they want to do anything else, which make linux quite useless unless you switch your partitions to a linux friendly-windows hostile format, meaning that youвЂ™ll have big trouble if you want to switch back to linux, and that definitely frighten most of them.

Write access to NTFS partitions are probably todayвЂ™s biggest barrier in the adoption of linux by not-so-interested-in-IT people.

The usefulness of binary modules is pretty much limited to those built by the hardware vendors and distributed free as in beer (i.e. The OSS community will inevitably try to develop an OSS alternative, and when they succeed, the market for the commercial binary module evaporates almost instantly.

Because they can never be included in the mainline kernel, it limits their market to commercial distributors willing to license them. I wonder if any third party commercial vendor could be succesful at selling binary kernel modules. Of course Paragon has the right to charge whatever they please, but obviously their business model failed. Only then can they get the market share to drive demand for the premium version.

Why charge a measly $20 for a binary kernel module and a mount extension when your business model obviously relies on selling a full suite of NTFS administration tools for $150? The вЂњcheapвЂќ versions of commercial OSS products should instead be free as in beer. This project beats the pants off Paragon NTFS, and they deserve it. If you benchmark the two, ext3 will win in most situations using bonnie++: Try turning on dir_index on a large ext3 volume and then grab a -mm kernel with reiser4. Reiserfs eats itsself, ext3 is rock solid. Also, I speak from experience as a Linux systems admin that works with ~100 SLES9 and some Unix Servers. Notice how Hans Reiser gives a totally busted response knowing he was caught in a lie.

Hans Reiser being completely called on his BS publically on the Linux kernel Mailinglist how he altered the Reiser4 benchmarks page deceptively: I have seen about a 30% speedup on 5 of our Oracle servers at work:

Numbers showing Reiser4 is a regression over Reiser3 and doesnвЂ™t much compare to ext3:ДЄ patch that speeds up ext3 up to 50% in some situations. If you would look at the actual numbers *instead* of spouting off, you would realize you are incorrect.
