does windows 8 pro use the ntfs format or the rtfs format?

In the November 2012 issue of PCWorld magazine it says on page 79:

"Windows 8 includes a new file system called ReFS (Resilient File System). It's compatible with most NTFS file features, and, as the name suggests, it adds features to improve data integrity. Features left out include Bitlocker, compression, and 8.3-format short filenames. What ReFS brings to the table is improved data verification and auto-correction: ReFS continually scans the file sytem, including rarely used older files, to ensure they haven't become corrupted, repairing bad disk clusters and moving data as necessary. Note, however, that ReFS works only on secondary drives, not boot drives. Your boot drive will still be NTFS."

NTFS quick - Formats the HDD quicker. NTFS - Takes its time to format the HDD.

NTFS. ReFS is only being used in Windows Server 8 right now.

Obviously NTFS. That's basically standard.

This is a challenging question, and one that has made me curious for a very long time.
