Transactional NTFS, the Glossary
Transactional NTFS (abbreviated TxF) is a component introduced in Windows Vista and present in later versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system that brings the concept of atomic transactions to the NTFS file system, allowing Windows application developers to write file-output routines that are guaranteed to either succeed completely or to fail completely.[1]

ACID
In computer science, ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee data validity despite errors, power failures, and other mishaps. Transactional NTFS and ACID are transaction processing.
See Transactional NTFS and ACID
Atomicity (database systems)
In database systems, atomicity (from undividable) is one of the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transaction properties. Transactional NTFS and atomicity (database systems) are transaction processing.

Development of Windows Vista
The development of Windows Vista began in May 2001, prior to the release of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, and continued until November 2006. Transactional NTFS and development of Windows Vista are Windows Vista.

File system
In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access.
See Transactional NTFS and File system
Journaling file system
A journaling file system is a file system that keeps track of changes not yet committed to the file system's main part by recording the goal of such changes in a data structure known as a "journal", which is usually a circular log.
See Transactional NTFS and Journaling file system
Kernel Transaction Manager
Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) is a component of the Windows operating system kernel in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 that enables applications to use atomic transactions on resources by making them available as kernel objects. Transactional NTFS and kernel Transaction Manager are transaction processing and Windows Vista.
