The security, stability, and efficiency (as in used-vs-wasted data within blocks) is what makes NTFS superior to FAT32.I agree with you that NTFS is technically a superior file system. But when it first came out, NTFS was the last thing you wanted on your Home PC. I should also add that NTFS happened to be a part of Windows NT, which was definately not a Home PC option. The changes from Windows NT to Windows 2000 did not seem like a huge improvement, which is why I havent touched it with a nine foot pole since then. We could also try comparing the Pentium chips to the AMD chips. Pentiums are definately rated to be superior to AMD's, however, I would take and AMD over a Pentium any day. Just because one thing has higher ratings and/or specs, doesnt necessarily mean its going to outperform the less of the two. NTFS has always been a problem for me for what I use it for.
