NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁 (en.wikipedia.org)

Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

I've heard that ReFS is supposedly replacing NTFS, on Windows.

    ReFS still is not supported for use as a boot (C:) drive, but it's used extensively in enterprise environments for VHD storage and as a backup target.

    Snapshotting and merging is much faster because of "Fast Cloning." It also has something called "integrity streams" which can be used to tell if data has been corrupted.

    I don't understand this all at a deep level, but it seems promising.
