Re: Antw: Can Windows read XFS?

All right, all right, I didn't mean to start such a brouhaha.  As Chris
points out, my original question was answered, which is what I had hoped
would happen when I asked it.  Thanks again.

I have no idea.  Perhaps you should ask them?

Maybe, I really don't know.  Maybe they like the pretty animated

Someone asked if there was XFS access under Windows, and the answer is
pretty much *NO* (without something like vmware).

Whether they need to run Windows, or choose to isn't the issue for
this list.  Arguably, it's none of anyones business but theirs.
