MacFUSE make'n me jealous!
I've been watching the FUSE project for a while, and am sincerely jealous. For a variety of reasons (mostly hardware and software compatibility) I spend most of my time in Windows. I keep holding out the hope that someone will implement something like FUSE for Windows, or even better re-implement FUSE on Windows, but no.
And now Google comes along and releases MacFUSE!!! Arrggg!

Vista supports user-level file systems. Can't remember it's name.
I think I remember seeing something about this. If it what I remember, it is mostly about isolating the kernel from driver faults. FUSE does that, but it also provides a simpler API for implementing those drivers. This is perfect for something like the GMail FUSE driver, since driver overhead is inconsequential relative to overhead of communicating with GMail. Besides, I can't upgrade to Vista because even Microsoft's own DB doesn't run on it yet!
