If only it had a native filesystem with snapshotting capability...

Which "it"?

Both btrfs and NTFS have snapshot capabilities.

It's so well hidden from users it might not as well exist. And you can't snapshot only a part of the ntfs filesystem.
The userland tools included with Windows are very lacking, but that's more of a distro problem than a filesystem problem. VSS works fine -- boringly, even -- and people take advantage of it all the time even if they don't know it.
