A STORY ON A SOFTWARE web site, said that a Microsoft executive has confirmed that future OS Longhorn will be the only supported file system.

But, the site adds - and all Winders users will breathe a sigh of relief at this - Longhorn will continue to support "legacy" file systems including FAT and FAT 32.

The same site claims that WinFS is not a file system but a service that perches on top of NTFS.

There's more of this interesting stuff from well known Windows man Paul Thurrott, here. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
