I was building a new machine for a custmer today and they 
wanted XP installed. I formatted the drive ahead of time with 
fat32, then XP only offered to format NTFS or leave the 
partition alone.  So I want anyone's opinion on this.
I heard that NTFS is newer than that used in NT and has 
performance modifications. Does anyone know the benefits of 
using NTFS with XP home on a typical users machine?  Or is 
fat32 still better? Do the security advances outweigh being 
able to boot off a floppy and recover data?
