Fabio,
We don't see a strong need for NTFS support on servers these days.
When we see OmniOS (or other illumos distros) in mixed Windows/UNIX
environments, files are typically exchanged over a network filesystem
such as CIFS or NFS.  One-time or infrequent exchanges can typically
be covered by scp/sftp.

FUSE might be nice to have in illumos-gate though.
