this has got to be the coolest, unmentioned feature so far. you have any idea what a pain in the ass it is to recover data off of drives you can't read? not a problem anymore!
now it brings them up like nothing. i'm very impressed!
The question is: is the driver read-only, or write, too? And if the latter, can it format NTFS drives as well? As in, can Mac OS X boot off NTFS partitions? (I know about the conflicting partitioning table schemes )
even when logged in as root you can't write to the disks. although i did see there was an "authenticate" dialogue that popped up, although it never worked for me.

It has been such a pain to deal with FAT32 partitions on our edit mac and my laptop. That whole 4GB file size limit on FAT32 bites.
As each passing day goes on and the more I use panther, the less I can wait, we aren't nowhere near done!

could just be they're still fleshing this out.

I don't think Apple uses an open source driver for NTFS access.

All the Mac OS X betas are full of typos
