On the state of Windows on the desktop

Seriously, how big of a use case do you think it is that someone has a drive formatted with some FreeBSD filesystem which they want use in Windows?

How hard is it to just copy the data over a network or mount the image in a VM running its native OS?

Note that support for the .iso filesystem was recently added.

Copy 2TB JSF partition over network sounds like something I wouldn't want to do... An easier solution is to just get a Live Linux distro, and another 2TB NTFS partition, and copy over the data... if you have another 2TB drive.

I know the world looks different when you're the server admin who has to deal with it, but how often does such a partition end up on a Windows server in the first place?
