From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is actually possible to use BTRFS with Windows. I've had some success using this tool between Linux and Windows, it can do in-place conversions of an NTFS drive if you need as well.
Nope !
I tried using it and it causes horrible bottle necks, sometimes it just -stops- and refuses to work until a reboot.
If u use windows u r stuck with ntfs.
Interesting, not in my experience so far. Though I acknowledge this is definitely experimental.
