I've been waiting literally years for this to happen. Now it did.

MacFUSE is a port of FUSE to Mac OS X. FUSE is a way to implement a filesystem in userspace, rather than in the kernel.

What does that mean?

It means, for one, that ports of Linux filesystem implementations are now far more realistic. SSHFS, for instance, has already been done. Moreover, this makes an NTFS-3G port much more tangible, since that, too, uses FUSE.

And NTFS-3G, of course, would mean NTFS read/write support! I'm sure there's lots of Boot Camp users that would greatly appreciate this.
