Don't think too highly of the Cygwin project, do you? Oh, and it's
almost impossible to get a laptop without paying MS, directly or
indirectly. No reiser4 for laptops, then.
Also, is it a given that reiser4 for windows would work without help
from MS? I've just never seen a third-party filesystem driver for
windows. You'd think that at least one other filesystem, one of the
Linux/BSD/etc ones, would have done this, if it was feasable.
To start with, ntfs read access is still case insensitive, last I
checked. How deep does that go? How many programs would be broken if
it was changed? How much point would there be if one could not access a
unix-created reiser4 partition, or if unix reiser4.2 had to be case
insensitive? And let's not go into the file-as-directory stuff -- it's
hard enough on unix.
All this leaves me with the distinct impression that it'd be cheaper to
buy some gigabit ethernet (or fibre) and a Linux CIFS/Samba fileserver
using reiser4. Steam and others refuse to install on network drives,
Windows probably will not boot off a network drive, but I imagine that
fixing these would be easier than porting a filesystem.
