Strange why you value so much an application-specific VFS which can't
be used from elsewhere.

A similar thing I am addict to is shfs (http://sfhs.sf.net), by which I
can mount any computer's fs remotely to which I have ssh access and
runs shell or perl (it's for Linux).

There are other means for similar purposes as well (fuse,
gnome-vfs-mount, lufs).

The point is that the remote fs will be integrated to your filesystem,
transparently to all of your apps. Now *that's* cool. I can imagine you
can do it under Windows as well somehow, but a VFS tied to a single
app... just better than nothing, IMHO.

That said, this and linux's software suspend (which does work for me)
is what keeps me switching to BSD.
