reversing in technology just to appeal to the windows masses? very few 
of these use win9x/me these days anyway.

well, it beats me... but go ahead and do it if you want, just be sure to 
make it an exclusive 'feature' of the windows port.

no, but it is more prone to fragmentation. use something like diskeeper. 
often. i promise you, not even the silliest windows user can argue that 
fat32 is a better choice, considering all facts.

also, sparse files are really neat since it's quite transparent to 
applications (i can preview any temp files with the end bytes complete 
in my favourite movie player, or extract parts of archives before 
they're done =)). can this be done with your proposal?

ps. i find it odd however, that mldonkey should hang up while writing to 
disk, no matter if it's 700M...

pps. the only thing i like about windows file systems is that, like me, 
they're case insensitive =)
