There is an OpenZFS port to Windows, but I'm not sure how to find it from here: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin There is also Microsoft's own ReFS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS

To be pedantic, Windows already supports other filesystems, it's just a feature rarely used for the main disk (network filesystems and FAT memory cards are ubiquitous, of course). And for those who wants a to live dangerously, there is even a port of ZFS: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin

Obviously not boot support yet (or anytime soon) - but does W10 support booting off non ntfs at all? Fat32/fatx/iso/udf? Just being able to use it for mostmight allow a boot/rest-of-disk split like with Linux? I don't know, but I think it's an interesting idea.

ZFS on Windows is slowly getting better. I wouldn't actually trust it with data yet, but I suspect the developers would welcome any contributions or effort sent in their direction: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin (I'm not affiliated, but I think it's a cool project, and I really want it to succeed)

You know, you say that, but... https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin (I am aware this is not the codebase the presentation is running on or about.)

This makes NetBSD the 6th OpenZFS platform, after Illumos, FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X and OSv. The 7th if you include the under development Windows port: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin

Wow. Of the 26 items in the Milestone section, three (near the bottom) are currently not done. All the rest are. (The last one should read "swim". And I hope that last one definitely happens!) The first substantial commit (https://github.com/lundman/ZFSin/commit/6ea8093d48da0a0abc3b...) includes a large pile of code. It's clear this was (wisely) built out privately to begin with. I wonder how long it took to get to the above commit point. While unrelated, thanks very much to the author for the TIL on how to do Windows kernel development! TIL about the free Windows VMs too. I've opened https://github.com/lundman/ZFSin/issues/6 to hopefully prompt a license file to turn up.
