I came across this article today
http://blog.fosketts...ntfs-windows-8/
Quote Microsoft’s deduplication is layered onto NTFS in Windows 8, and will be a feature add-on for Server users. It is implemented as a filter driver on a per volume basis, with each volume a complete, self describing unit. It is cluster aware, and fully crash consistent on all operations. This is a pretty neat trick: As is typical for Microsoft, deduplication will be a simple, transparent feature.
I administer a system with it's own "sub" filesystem at the office which has a vaguely similar feature that works VERY well. The only thing disappointing about the new feature is that it seems they aren't going to release it with the workstation version of the OS!!
Basically, though if you run a windows file-server for multiple users or a VM farm this could potentially be a huge savings in terms of storage costs. From what I can tell, Linux has no such feature (although open solaris does).

Why the DoD chose Android?
The reason was simple: open source. Starts & Stripes repots, “Android, developed by Google and other companies, is open source software meaning it can be easily configured by uses – including DOD tech whizzes who want to install security measures.”
The Army is already doing widespread testing of prototype smartphone-like devices for use in combat, These devices could change the Army's tactics, reports Stars & Strips.
iOS has not been approved probably due to Apple's tight control over the platform.
