Re: Macdrive 8 : Can you store Win apps on hfs+? You probably could, but I don't see any good reason why you should.

Re: Macdrive 8 : Can you store Win apps on hfs+? Macdrive 8 user here. As it is, Windows 7's NTFS file system is less efficient than HSF+, as seen in the app installation process & by the sluggishness experienced after opening from sleep in Windows. To keep things at Windows 7's "efficiency", I keep NTFS stuff inside NTFS & let Windows 7 install apps in its default location (drive c).
Macdrive 8 though can make you get used to it that I sometimes forget other Windows PCs cannot access my Mac drives...MBox2 . M-Audio DX4 . PSR-2000 . AT2020 . . D300s . Nikkor 18-200mm . 35mm f1.8 . LX5 . . iPhone 4 . iPad WiFi 3G . MBP 13" 2011 . . my Flickr . imbued with Unending Grace UST@400 .
Go LAKERS! c",)

Re: Macdrive 8 : Can you store Win apps on hfs+? I see. Yes, operation is seamless you forget what you bought. Paragon NTFS 9.0 is doing brilliantly in OS X. I do less switching between windows and OS X now.
