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.
