I am sure that we, as .net devs, will get a few more features we can take advantage of in the System.IO namespace. The thing is, they are not supposed to be releasing this to the public until 2005. That is a while away still, and who knows what they will do to it by then.
The cool thing, from what I understand, about a journaling file system is that you can roll back changes to files because it logs them. At least that is what I have heard. Also, aren't searches supposed to be much faster because it looks in the journal instead of traversing the folder/file system looking for it?
Yeah, in theory it should be faster as location would not matter.
Of course it still a coupe more years off, but its good to still be looking into the pros and cons ahead of time. Makes the switch much smotther and not as much a shock to such a radical new change.
