Look through Linux NTFS sources. That’s not the same as Microsoft’s
implementation but it may help.

I heard, needs to be verified though, MS has started providing source codes
to companies meeting certain criteria. That may help.
Although I would also love to know if its available some where in textual
form.

Yes, one of the criteria is that the company is willing to pay Microsoft
large amounts of money 
Also, some universities have access, but of course, I don’t know the terms
of the contracts.

It’s the big companies that have least need of the source, in my
opinion. Those small firms and consultants who can’t afford expensive
support incidents are in most need of it to help debug their products.
There is some open source program cooking up for MVPs from what I read,
however… I wonder how extensive it will be.
