Not talent, that's just standard par for the course, all of these tech
billionaires are walking egos.

At one point Apple was sniffing around
ZFS. They stopped, thanks in part to various Ellison shenanigans, and
developed APFS instead. MS started building ReFS at about the same time.
Google is, well, Google. Perhaps MS will unleash ReFS generally, once
they’ve got the bugs out.

Getting the bugs out and Microsoft are mutually exclusive.

Right now it’s available for server OSes, for
Enterprise and Pro for Workstation versions of desktop OSes, as of Server
2012/Win 8.1. It’s not available for Home versions, period. Note that
Education versions are basically Pro/Enterprise versions, just for schools,
and so can have ReFS; I usually just put NTFS on my systems, I don’t need
the headaches of dealing with ReFS until it’s been debugged. I’m not
holding my breath waiting for MS to fix it.

Some years back I was hearing rumours of Microsoft developing its MS-SQL
database software as its new filesystem. I guess that didn't pan out?
