Something that has been nibbling at me about MacOS X is the file system. 
What is it going to be? If it's HFS+, or a derivative of it, how that fit 
in with the BSD Unix architecture? If it's UFS, or some other UNIX-ish 
file system, how will users upgrade their existing systems?
Most users won't be able to back up their entire system and partition and 
newfs their disks, so how is the upgrade supposed to be done?

Any insight? Or any guesses?
