Fred Vogelstein guesses a Google/Apple partnership to replace .Mac

ZFS support in Leopard is all but official

I think saying that it will be the "official" FS for Leopard is overselling it a bit, but this is the first I've heard that ZFS will, definitively, be a part of Leopard. Makes TimeMachine all the more compelling.
