Mac OS X Perhaps overcome with excitement (and forgetting that Apple doesn't like such pre-emptive disclosures), Sun's Jonathan Schwartz announced today at Sun event in D.C. that Apple would be making ZFS 'the file system' in OSX 10.5 Leopard. "In fact, this week you'll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developer Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS X."

WTF... Seriously?

This is actually pretty significant news! But I really didn't expect it. I thought we'd see ZFS in Leopard+1 or OS XI if such a thing ever exists.

Wow... cool!

Wonder if Apple could give the Mac GUI to Sun Solaris in return for DTrace and ZFS.
That would be even cooler!

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The work on GUI is a lot more extensive than dtrace and the filesystem.
