So why isn't NTFS supported natively? It's been around for a long time
(a decade? or more?) and it seems that most Linux users are from the
Windows world (especially from the "pro"/"hacker" side of things so
would be more inclined to be using the more robust server-like
features of Windows NT/XP Pro).
