    Just asking cause I heard that Windows 8 uses some new filesystem which is not yet supported by linux.

    This is probably a better topic for the cafe . Since Win 8 has not been releases except for the pre beta developer preview there is only speculation at the moment . http://www.extremetech.com/computing...cs-but-it-wont

    Well... it looks to be true. Windows 8 will have a new FS. Microsoft was supposed to put this out with Vista, but better late than never.

    Here are some links:


    Should be interesting to see it in action.
