schestowitzUpon closer inspection, this gets even more interesting. I see that the said twitter account follows 33 people and also an account called "(http://twitter.com/)/ZDNetUK_Win7". I notice that alongside menu items at the top of *all* pages in ZDNet UK there is an oddly out-of-place section called "Windows 7" (and again, it's the only brand mentioned). I clicked on and it's purely promotional therein. It says: "ZDNet UK's special report Apr 16 02:17

schestowitz"I would rather not imply so blindly that Microsoft paid for it (at least until someone can confirm/deny), but in general, Microsoft does not like competition and a paid endorsement requires that the competition is not even mentioned.

DaemonFCEnder2070, Speaking of XFS :)Apr 16 09:20
DaemonFCit's about half the size it was a couple of years agoApr 16 09:20
DaemonFCthey've been removing XFS specific code that is already in the VFS layer and pointing it there insteadApr 16 09:21
DaemonFCcleaner driver code, bug fixes in the VFS fix bugs in XFS, and it's faster, takes less memory, and is half the XFS-specific code for them to maintainApr 16 09:22
DaemonFCit used to be a lot uglier than it is todayApr 16 09:22
DaemonFCBtrFS has a lot of new features, but a lot of them don't really interest me because they're there to help maintain things like RAID arrays and clusters and all kinds of fancy stuff I don't haveApr 16 09:23
DaemonFCxfsdump to tar a partition to an external drive is still fine for meApr 16 09:23
DaemonFCa monthly freeze and thaw is not that much of a pain in the assApr 16 09:24
DaemonFCand how long will it go on where BtrFS has data loss bugs that have to be fixed and fixed and fixed, and long story short, given their track record with file systems....Apr 16 09:24
DaemonFCI might trust it, about a year after they call it stableApr 16 09:24
DaemonFCand this stable file system starts eating data on Ubuntu and Fedora systems where the user has rolled it out prematurelyApr 16 09:25
DaemonFCYou probably saw how much trouble Ext4 has been, and that's just from tacking on some of XFS's features onto Ext3Apr 16 09:26
DaemonFCI think Ext4 is probably where most Linux distributions should be defaulting to right now, and I would advise any user that knows what is good for them to change it back to Ext4 for a while past the official BtrFS 1.0Apr 16 09:28
DaemonFCit's still flagged as 0.29 right now with "EXPERIMENTAL unstable data format" next to it, I don't think it should qualify as a default file system on any Linux distro out this yearApr 16 09:28
DaemonFCbut it won't be my data it has for breakfast, so knock yourself out :)Apr 16 09:29
DaemonFCnow maybe I'm just being cynical when I saw this, but at the moment, they're still slinging hundreds of bug fixes into every kernel revision, it doesn't sound like something to be trustedApr 16 09:30
schestowitz:-)Apr 16 09:30
Ender2070didnt know it was in 0.29Apr 16 09:31
DaemonFCthat's what Linux 2.6.39's menuconfig still saysApr 16 09:31
DaemonFCmy spidey sense tells me that BtrFS isn't ready and that nobody should be encouraged to do anything but test it out as a curiosity Apr 16 09:32
DaemonFCNow, the question to ask is what the hell it is doing in the kernel at all at this point next to all the well-behaved file systemsApr 16 09:33
DaemonFCI think it probably fits in more with Staging driversApr 16 09:33
DaemonFCEnder2070, The last time I was running a website, it was on Ext2 :/Apr 16 09:35
DaemonFCof course Red Hat shipped with Netscape Navigator 4Apr 16 09:35
DaemonFC:)Apr 16 09:35
DaemonFCso I was busy making pages that looked right in Netscape 4Apr 16 09:36
DaemonFCthat usually did something terrible in IE or OperaApr 16 09:36
DaemonFCI was getting some messages to the effect of the page wouldn't work in IEApr 16 09:37
DaemonFCand I replied along the lines of "Netscape runs on lots of systems, IE only runs on certain versions of Windows, go complain to Microsoft"Apr 16 09:37
DaemonFC:PApr 16 09:37
DaemonFCschestowitz, I figure that if someone insists on keeping Windows, the best thing I can do for them is to install Firefox and hide or disable IE somehowApr 16 09:39
DaemonFCI usually do that whenever someone asks me to clear up some malware infestationApr 16 09:39
DaemonFCInterestingly whenever someone tells me that they lost data to XFS and I ask them for their /etc/fstab, they've usually gone and added some "tweaks" that are known to risk data lossApr 16 09:41
DaemonFC8 log buffers of 256k each = disaster when the system goes downApr 16 09:41
DaemonFCand all so it can be 5% faster when you're deleting a kernel treeApr 16 09:42
DaemonFC:DApr 16 09:42
DaemonFCBest advice is leave it alone, and the only speedup that gives you a big boost with not all that much risk is delaylogApr 16 09:43
DaemonFCwhich is the 2.6.39 defaultApr 16 09:43
DaemonFCEnder2070, One thing I haven't heard much about is how BtrFS handles fragmentationApr 16 09:46
DaemonFCXFS has the xfs_fsr toolApr 16 09:47
DaemonFCExt4 people still like to pretend it can't happenApr 16 09:47
DaemonFCthey think a backup and a format is a perfectly acceptable thing to tell a user whose partition has fragmented a lotApr 16 09:47

asdfas2wefw.Apr 16 11:28
asdfas2wefwembedding crapware can be on Linux re-install disks, too.Apr 16 11:29
oiaohmProblem you try getting a set of clean reinstall disks for windows.Apr 16 11:29
oiaohmWithout buying another copy of windows.Apr 16 11:29
oiaohmLinux on the other hand you can just go and download a clean disk and do away with the problem.Apr 16 11:30
MinceRthey could use a non-gratis gnu/linux distribution :>Apr 16 11:31
oiaohmI personally class what as beening done by many OEM's as underhanded and in the same class as malware.  Supported by Microsoft.Apr 16 11:31
oiaohmMinceR: Redhat will send out clean disks if you point out disk has malware added.Apr 16 11:31

oiaohmBasically its not tollerated treatment of users in the Linux world. MinceRApr 16 11:32
MinceRdoes the crapware author and the average user know this? :>Apr 16 11:32
oiaohmRemember with Redhat and Suse you have a support contract.Apr 16 11:33
oiaohmSo when you have issue with crap you ring them up.Apr 16 11:33
MinceRthen again, the crapware author themselves could ship a modified distro :>Apr 16 11:33
oiaohmSome have tried.Apr 16 11:33

oiaohmSo user complaining about issues who reinstalls with new version bingo crapware problem gone.Apr 16 11:35
oiaohmso end of crapware making profit.Apr 16 11:35

schestowitzI find the removal of about 7 of my comments rather insulting as they contained no obscenity and did not contain any improper material (you can unmask these comments for readers to judge). It is a form of censorship, which is why I was reluctant to comment in ZDNet to begin with, but I was polite and all my claims have verifiable sources to back them. So again, I'm very disappointed that you removed comments and then suggested that Apr 16 12:52

twitterSadly, ZDNet will just delete the comment because "they make unsubstantiated harmful suggestions about companies" and so Jack can make fun of the same allegations without anyone being able to contradict him.  Posting in ZDNet is a mistake because Microsoft controls the discussion completely and will abuse their position.  Your discussion with Jack proves this.  -> (01:03:36 PM) schestowitz: Microsocft Jack gets his behind handed over to hApr 16 23:54
