Compressed Memory - link
"Memory and storage compression in general isn't new at all. In the 1980s, tools such as DiskDoubler allowed users to compress files on disk on the fly, as opposed to packing files into archives (which dates back to the beginning of computing). RAM Doubler did the same thing for memory, a technique that was essentially replaced by Virtual Memory in the late 90s.
Over time, the benefits of compressing files were largely outweighed by the overhead involved, particularly as storage grew cheaper and more plentiful and new techniques were built into the operating system. But the recent move toward mobile computing and the use of relatively expensive solid state storage (and often idle, but very fast CPU cores) have made compression popular again. "

Apple shifts from AFP file sharing to SMB2 - link
"With the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft greatly revamped SMB to clear out old legacy complications and enhance its performance, capabilities and security. This resulted in SMB2.
Samba didn't initially support Microsoft's new SMB2; additionally, the project decided to move its future development (including support for SMB2) to the more strict GPLv3 license. That prevented Apple from realistically using the software commercially.
For OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple wrote its own software for Windows File Sharing under the name "SMBX" to replace Samba, adding initial support for Microsoft's SMB2 at the same time.
Rather than maintaining both AFP and SMBX in parallel, Apple is now consolidating its future efforts in its own implementation of Microsoft's SMB2 protocol."
