That looks a really cool & useful idea. |

However, I have a reservation. Since you NEED to use it - perhaps for |
| 10 |
space considerations? - the go for it, by all means. But if this |
| 11 |
driver is slower at reads or writes than Windows' own NTFS driver then |
| 12 |
it may actually slow the computer down. |

In the case of a driver written by an individual, who is likely not as |
| 15 |
familiar with Windows' APIs, or who may not be able to use the private |
| 16 |
APIs used by Windows' own filesystem drivers, I find it quite possible |
| 17 |
the performance may be questioned. |
