Szabolcs, the biggest reason why we don't tell people to run applications from
an NTFS partition is not strictly a technical one but just the fact that
people then try to run applications they installed under windows.
This will fail for almost every application that depends on certain registry
entries being created by the install process.
I don't know what other features Vitaly was talking about. Perhaps you can
elaborate on that here, Vitaly?
Cheers,
Kai
