The amusing thing is that Mac OS X already uses a UNIX file system (as an option) and is moving to something that everyone else loves but Torvalds hates - ZFS.

But normally it's HFS+, and that's what OS X works best with. ZFS would be fun, especially since it could allow Time Machine to only back up changed blocks of a file instead of the whole file (like when a VM drive image gets one byte changed).
