Product Concept
After the introduction of Intel-based Apple computers, Mac users have got the option to combine their Mac OS X
environments with Microsoft Windows (XP and later), which can be easily installed as an additional OS with the
help of Apple Boot Camp. It should have been a real breakthrough if not for a naughty nuance – data sharing
between Mac and Windows domains is a real problem, as Windows doesn’t know a thing about HFS+, the primary
file system for Macintosh computers, while Mac OS X only provides read access to NTFS.
With release of NTFS for Mac, Paragon Software has offered an elegant solution for these limitations. With a lowlevel file system driver on the Mac side providing full read/write access to NTFS, the company has managed to
open up an effective communication channel between Mac OS X and Windows.
Paragon HFS+ for Windows is a promising successor of this trend. It’s a file system driver that can offer full
read/write access to HFS+/HFSX volumes under Microsoft Windows.
