The idea behind the Mt. Rainier technology is to add native support for rewritable CD's and DVD's to the operating system itself. This would ideally eliminate the need for cross compatibility between the various existing methods of writing to a UDF file system disk. It also proposes several key advances, such as the ability to automatically begin the formatting of a blank rewritable disk as soon as it is inserted, and allowing already formatted sections of the disk to be used while it continues formatting the rest of the disk in the background. Files could then be added to the disk through the normal Windows interface, without the need for a third party program.
