ReactOS Achieves NTFS Installation Support Milestone

ReactOS has achieved the ability to install on NTFS partitions, a significant step towards beta status. This change eliminates the previous requirement for FAT32 partitions, but users are cautioned about potential performance and security limitations.

ReactOS has reached a key milestone by enabling installations on NTFS partitions, moving closer to its beta release. Previously, installations required FAT32 partitions, which posed limitations for compatibility with Windows Server 2003. However, the new NTFS driver lacks certain features, including caching and security support, prompting the ReactOS team to advise users to proceed with caution due to potential bugs.
