No no no no.... They reinvented links in W2K calling it something else. I think
intelligent storage.
They claimed that many a times copies of same data are stored on disk wasting
space. Intelligent storage detects such waste and removes unnecessary copies and
maintains internal links to the data. This is reduce the space usage to 20% of
original....
While this is nothing but the links, note the word internal. Sticking to M$
idiocity, it does not allow user to maintain the links but it does it on it's
own, maintaining some kinda checksum. That nicely screws up the link concept.
When I read the article first time, I was laughing for rest of the day. I could
ot work for whole day. Got to appreciate a screw up...
