content: Microsoft should properly and formally just publish their NTFS spec  I'm not sure if it's still possible, assuming that the original authors probably either retired, left by themselves in disgust, or were dropped to make room for more pajeets, etc. The perpetual shit show that Windows 10 is suggests that is exactly what has happened, and no one left would be capable of that. Providing of course, that there would be political will to "open" the NTFS spec, for which the chances are slim.
