Really? Not that I don't believe you, but I haven't seen any NTFS
pre-formatted drives yet. Which manufacturer sells these? I have always
seen NTFS as something proprietary to Microsoft. Even the 1TB disk I
bought recently came with FAT32.

Those drives would not work with Linux or with a Mac either, so I
suppose they put a warning "only suitable for Microsoft Windows" on the
box?

NTFS support would be nice to have, without question, but it is not
entirely trivial. Think of file ownership and access control lists, for
example.
