Hans,

Do you believe this is just a marketing convention to refer to a file-system
as an object oriented one?  Bear in mind that Microsoft is supposed to
enrich their NTFS with object support from SQL Server in their next OS.  The
code name for this is Longhorn.

I really can't tell what this means to a file system in terms of support.
It sounds like it's intended to provide support for really large numbers of
files in a single directory vs. nested ones.  But I'm just not sure.  Do you
see a limitation, going forward, with Reiser4 and large numbers of files?

Thanks,

Mike

Do you know what that  means?  (Seriously, I don't....)
