    at least for now.


    “With this in mind, we will implement ReFS in a staged evolution of the feature: first as a storage system for Windows Server, then as storage for clients, and then ultimately as a boot volume. This is the same approach we have used with new file systems in the past.”

    @canouna: But if Microsoft deletes ReFS from Client builds, they also must delete Storage Space because Storage Space uses ReFS!? :confused:

    That's a real Picasso! @canouna ;)

    But seriously: Microsoft has to concentrate on desktop users with the beta release. Think about it! Nobody has a tablet that could run the beta, so almost everybody can only test Windows 8 on laptops or desktops without touch. If Microsoft can't convince the public testers that Metro works and feels great with mouse, keyboard and touch-pad, they will fail. IMHO

    The little progress we have seen in the known pre-beta builds don't seem to be enough.
