Go get'em grandpa! I know you'll be able to run 2020's games in 2040 if you believe in yourself! ;u;

Earlier era's games such as 90's 00's can be run pretty soon then, could be assumed. Which would also be great! And all without Microslop's clutches. Future is free.

Considering that they had to reverse-engineer not just NTFS itself, but also how Windows handles filesystem I/O, without access to Microsoft's source code for either, this is a huge step forward indeed.

I'm just wondering why this news is only on X and not even on the project's own website. I can't view the pictures there without an X account, and I'm probably not the only one.
