You have a <A href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=123">new kick-butt file system</A>, ZFS, that blows away Microsoft’s aging NTFS and complements see-and-gotta-have storage tools like <A href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/timemachine.html">Time Machine</A>.</p> <P>And maybe, you’d like to add the world’s Windows users to your total available market. Enabling customers to replace the creaking mass of Windows compromise with something modern. Sure, Vista <I>looks</I> new, but the guts are old. The NTFS file system is based on 1980’s technology from DEC, after all.</p> <P>In either case you need a new file system. Changing file systems is error-prone and tedious: back up all your data, reformat the disk, install the new OS and then restore your data. Except now Apple has a better way.</p> <P>A way that can change Windows file systems to Mac file systems.</p> <P>According to a <A href="http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=10&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=apple.AS.&OS=AN/apple&RS=AN/apple">patent</A> filed by smart Apple engineers Greg Marriott and David Shayer, Apple can do that.  (I heard about the patent from <A href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9024119&pageNumber=1">Greg Keizer</A>.) </p> <P>The invention isn’t hard to describe. The fun is in the possible uses.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B0470F8E-1263-4041-B8AC-8E35D4F54B9B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
