Joking aside... you could violate NTFS integrity and its security model, so
it's probably not a good idea especially if the program was boot from a
floppy. You could delete system files, change some attributes, etc. Not
good.
OTOH it'd be nice to implement for another OS, like the Linux NTFS guys are
doing. I'm seriously considering making NTFS the native FS of the OS I'm
developing (the microkernel is being designed now, it's called Nu. The
complete system as yet has no name), if sufficient information exists.
Since win2k was installed I sometimes wonder how I ever did without NTFS
(performance has been about the same as FAT32 on this machine if not
slightly better).
