Being that BSD is under a BSD lic. how come no ones made a ufs/ufs2 
driver for windows yet? a lot of other stuff was riped from BSD like the 
network stack etc and put into windows, so I'm sure it can't be that 
hard (but harder then I can handle, heck I'm not even a programmer, just 
a Perl junky).

It would be usefull for people dual booting, migrating to BSD (and from? 
lol), and doing large data transfers.
