    Fabio,
    We don't see a strong need for NTFS support on servers these days.
    When we see OmniOS (or other illumos distros) in mixed Windows/UNIX
    environments, files are typically exchanged over a network filesystem
    such as CIFS or NFS.  One-time or infrequent exchanges can typically
    be covered by scp/sftp.

    FUSE might be nice to have in illumos-gate though.

    Eric
