> Looking at NTFS from on-disk structure side, it always seemed quite obvious to me that a lot of accolades given to BeFS applied to NTFS - it's the lack of actually using the abilities

Microsoft had some very grand plans in this area... Cairo, OFS, WinFS... but they just kept on getting delayed, cancelled, pulled from the beta for too many issues. I think contemporary Microsoft has lost interest in this (it was something Bill Gates was big on) and moved on to other ideas.
