Microsoft won’t say why this change is limited to EU markets.

    Also, the file system. For the longest time windows used NTFS exclusively, which is (or was) slower than Ext4 (the most widely used on Linux).

    I think MS is moving away from NTFS and are going to use a different file system in the near future (maybe even now, I don’t know anymore)

      They’ve been talking about replacing NTFS for a long time. 10 years ago they put ReFS in the server builds and… show of hands anyone using it?

      I think they were trying to make ReFS compete with things like zfs but 10 years later it still doesnt support compression, encryption, quotas or booting…
