During the last evenings I investigated a little how
difficult it would be to write Windows
NT Internal File System
which mounts a webdav server to a drive letter (like
Teamdrive, or WebDrive). This way we could get
rid of the problems we have with WebDAV and MS-Office.

I is an interesting challenge. The building blocks are
already there:

neon: (WebDAV Client Library)
       http://www.webdav.org/neon/

Examples of an IFS (Internal Filesystem Driver):

I thought about doing it myself, but I have a fulltime
job. Maybe someone at a university could convince his
professor to do this in a project.
