Systems with real wearlevelling should be used, but MS is loathe to relinquish the monopoly on storage filesystems for consumer-grade peripherals. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/11/microsoft_wins_patent_case/ http://news.cnet.com/Microsofts-file-system-patent-upheld/2100-1012_3-6025447.html Hasn’t WinFS been promised as a major selling point for every product / product codename since W95?
