Which filesystem do you mean? Do you mean SMB/CIFS? Because that is NOT originally an MS product, and unlike many things they stole, they never bought it. Read up on the history. Allison and whoever wrote Samba because they wanted to talk to DEC. Only later did they realise that MS had copied the same protocol. Cheers, Wol
