Oh please, NTFS is a *much* better file system than anything offered under Linux. Just comparing feature sets between NTFS and any one of the file systems available on Linux will result in Linux coming out the one looking *primitive.*
Yes, have you? Works fine for me, and has for years, what exactly is it that you can't do?
Only if you don't know what you're doing.
Since you didn't qualify it, that's a stupid statement. If you had made the same statement in regards to Win9X you might have had a case. Since you were just talking about NTFS, the above Windows reference implicitly refers to the NT-2K-XP code base.
Unless history changed without our knowledge, NT was designed by Dave Cutler, who also architected VMS. Unless you're claimming VMS is not mult-user environment, it appears the wheels are falling off your argument.

Uhhh...NTFS had ACLs from the start, can you name the Linux file system that has had ACL from the very beginning....talk about "tacked on as afterthought."
And as we've just seen, you could say the same thing for Windows, you just didn't want to.
