@i440Good for NTFS but last I knew, and I haven't looked today so it might have changed, but NTFS was "New Technology File System" made for Windows "New Technology" Which is a Microsoft product. And If I'm not wrong, Microsoft does not make OSX, and if I'm still not way off NTFS is not open source and therefore unlikely to be used in OSX. Now I may be crazy, but last I knew this was all correct.
Have fun then... you have to turn it /on/ before you can use it. Not everyone has a drive sitting around for backups, so it would be insane to have it on by default, since it needs its own drive.

Actually, even having read the article that could be a relevant title, the concluding answer just wouldn't be yes.
