I might have to recant that last claim. I vaguely recall about 9 years or so ago when c# was real new that I tried to do something that wouldn't work because I was hosting some files on a fat32 partition. And then in 2000/2001 When Win2000 was fairly new there was some weird disk caching bug that we suspected was only fat32, but Microsoft fixed it in a later service pack. So maybe there are a few reasons to be using ntfs after all. I'm sure that Microsoft wants you to, isn't that good enough of a reason? :)
