   There have been cases made by Microsoft, where in the documentation   
   it would claim a certain thing would only work on NTFS. And then   
   an external dev would turn around and make it work on FAT32.   
      
   Not every one of those declarations is for real.   
      
   As for "every feature", the audience here are mostly   
   desktop users and not server users. The server side   
   has a few features we don't see here. I'm not in a position   
   to give an authoritative overview of every filesystem nook   
   and cranny.   
      
   The OS has Windows Overlay File system, and that's a technique   
   for saving space on a tablet (and its tiny eMMC storage).
