Why would you have a case insensitive file system that supports Unicode in the first place. It only makes sense in pure ASCII.

apparently lots of nerds are angry about case sensitivity. both Mac OS and windows have been running on case insensitive file systems since the 80s and users don't seem to have problems with it. obviously when Linux finally conquers the desktop it will show them what they've been missing all these years

I know you're not that bright but Explorer features aren't part of the NTFS spec.

The only reason Linux losers don't use NTFS by default is because most distros have extremely bad compatibility so they're forced to use extremely inefficient and slow trash like ext3 and ext4. Or maybe its not the file systems fault but the fault of insanely poor I/O software. At the end of the day though Windows just reads and writes files way faster than free as in garbage software.

I have never had this problem, personally, because I'm not mentally damaged by overuse of Apple products

Even if I had the option of something besides FAT, the other popular file systems suck and are only used because they aren't optional (Mac) or are garbage (Linux)
