Guys, each of you has an (opposite) opinion on the usefulness of NTFS. Do either of you have REASONS for your preferences? Hearing the details may help others (at least me) learn something useful for their upgrades from Win9x/ME to Windows XP. For example, would converting to NTFS 'break' any chess engines that FAT32 does not break? Would it make tablebase access slower? Faster??
