How critical is NTFS support for ReactOS to be successful?
The ReactOS Project will eventually see NTFS support as a priority, but for now, there is no critical reason to have it. NTFS is primarily a hard disk filesystem, so the only reason one would absolutely need it would be is if you wanted to access an NTFS-formatted physical partition on an installed hard disk when using ReactOS. Other file systems will be able to provide the advanced features of NTFS (journalling, ACLs, compression, hard links, etc.) if strict NTFS compatibility is not a requirement. All software comes on CD or DVD media (ISO-9660 or UDFS), or possibly on floppies (FAT). External media (compact flash, memory sticks, etc.) tend to be formatted FAT.
