Sorry, just something I remember reading in a forum post a while ago. I think that forum may have been Slashdot. The gist of it being that the original specs made room for a lot of features that Windows didn't support at the time, and Windows has slowly been adding them as time moves along (i.e. hardlinks, symlinks, etc).
The closest I can come on Wikipedia is:
> It is also clear that NTFS owes some of its
> architectural design to Files-11 used by VMS.
> This is hardly surprising since Dave Cutler was
> the main lead for both VMS and Windows NT.
