    One of the most unusual combinations now possible: Windows running from a filesystem designed exclusively for Linux. *even though it says ext2, this is a limitation of the filesystem driver, it's actually ext3. And it works pretty well at that! Once again, this was possible thanks to the amazing ReactOS project.

    Wild! Why would one want to do this though vs NTFS or FAT/FAT32?

    I knew we can read Linux filesystems, I didn't think we could BOOT from them! We can't even boot GPT!
