Best Answer

NTFS, or New technology file system is a proprietary file system created by Microsoft first for windows NT. It is not an open file system like ext3 for example and Microsoft will not release the standards for it making it hard for other OS's to mount NTFS file systems.

Note I said hard, not impossible. People have reverse engineered much of the NTFS system and it is possible to mount it with the correct tools in other OS's.

But the best way to describe it is a Microsoft proprietary file system.
