Fast file system queries that could be stored as shortcuts were nice, still haven't seen that implemented nearly as well elsewhere. NTFS metadata architecture

Fast file system queries that could be stored as shortcuts were nice, still haven't seen that implemented nearly as well elsewhere.
NTFS metadata architecture really inspired by BeFS, or at the least, a fellow traveler.
You can tweak the Windows Explorer (the filesystem UI) to operate on arbitrary metadata. Well, I was able to get an email inbox, where each email message is a text file, just using Explorer the BeOS way, on Windows 2000. It wasn't exactly fast.
