   Maybe. I compared it just in the context of what was there before   
   in these more primitive OSes. And it *had* handling of small files   
   as feature at least, as opposed to these previous primitive file   
   systems we spoke about.

   I seem to recall to have read about it in an article before it got   
   released or integrated in Windows...

   Can't tell. Windows and NTFS were never of practical concern to me.   
      
   (In my own primary system I use more than one file system type and   
   these are contemporary ones.)
