I remember OSX as having to use it via FUSE. I guess that leaves only Windows. OS/2 had installable filesystems. Does Windows have something like it?

OS X has a native port - http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Distributions#ZFS-OSX

Windows has ReFS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS

I didn't mean like ZFS, but like installable filesystems. It should be possible, with some effort, make ZFS run on Windows.

ReFS is beta-quality and lack several features ZFS has since its first production-grade release. It's not really an apples to apples comparison.
