Apparantly, Apple is interested in porting Sun Solaris' ZFS to Mac OS X. From the zfs-discuss mailinglist: "Chris Emura, the Filesystem Development Manager within Apple's CoreOS organization is interested in porting ZFS to OS X. For more information, please e-mail him directly at [email address]. Speaking for the zfs team (at Sun), this is great news and we fully support the effort."

This is certainly a throw away comment. NTFS can store double the amount of information on volumes and file size. Up to 16 exebytes. HFS+ can store 8 exebytes. NTFS is actually a very advanced file system with refinements happening with every release of Windows.
Of course, that can't be the only differences, maybe you should checkout this and see what other factors come into play:

P.S I do own a powerbook and absolutely love it. Modern filesystems don't mean much on smaller laptops but can play an important role on larger systems.

It would be fantastic to have the great features and robustness of ZFS underlying OS X. HFS+ is so last century.
