Windows testers will get a new beta version of Windows Vista, dubbed the December Community Technology Preview beta build, just before next week's holidays, according to tester scuttlebutt. New to the December release, testers say, will be a number of features and user-interface tweaks. a new defrag module; tight integration of Windows Defender (formerly known as Windows AntiSpyware); and a functional parental-controls filter are all rumored to be in the December Vista build.

How many times have you lost a fs due to a loss a fs issue?
How many times have you lost a fs due to a failing disk?
I think most people are more concerned about fs features and fs performance than data security. There's sort of a minimal level of data integrity which most modern filesystems provide quite well. Beyond that I think most people would rather see performance tuning and features like file rollbacks, and software partitions, etc.
And by people I really mean mostly administrators and also, to a much smaller extent, developers and some power users.
The average user doesn't care as long as it doesn't die on him.
