Interesting this article never said "poorly architected". The conclusion that the issue is peanut buttered points at that. Instead of looking into the system for things to optimize is there any proposal or initiative to rework it at a higher level?

Proposal from an earlier comment:

> Noting, as an aside, that it isn't really all that necessary for MSFT to work on the project, because I gather there are at least 684 FOSS NT kernel developers available, and qualified, and willing, to volunteer their time to work on projects like that. I assume that's why all those people upvoted, anyway. With a team that size, stabilizing WinBtrfs will take no time at all.

Windows is different. Linux puts effort into making the Unix style of IO work fast.
