Mainly I recall a magazine discussing a "WinFS" to replace NTFS in Vista. Has it happened? I don't know, honestly. In fact, I don't want to say that Partition Magic will work this way, my testing has only shown Partition Magic to resize Windows NT 3, 4, and 2K. I have not been able to test it on XP (girlfriend won't let me), or Vista. So there is a fear of me listing NTFS with confidence, yet, my version is at least three years old. I'll come up with something or other ... does it work on OS/2? ;) -- Tom Rhodes
