Hopefully that means that registry hive corruption will become a thing of the past?

_to_use_transactional_ntfs.asp

TxF makes it simple for an application to protect file save operations from
system failure. To save a file safely, the application opens the file in
transacted mode, saves the file, and then commits the transaction. If the
system fails during the file save, then TxF automatically restores the file
to the state that it had before the file save began, which avoids file
corruption.
