EXT2 = "Second Extended File System'' used on a Linux OS.

I know what it is; I just meant it's not standard.

NTFS is what every windows users should be using.

XP Home still uses FAT32. I use NTFS but frankly prefer FAT32, since it is such a pain to reformat with NTFS and I don't really care about the security benefits. I have not detected any performance improvement whatsoever with NTFS.

how is it any different then reformating as fat32?

I completely agree. It is only limited by the OS you use.

NTFS
but apparently in the next release of Windows, it is going to change..

doesn't NTFS yield advantages once the HD is larger than 2gb because of the way that it allocates space on the HD??

i'm not a big fan of FAT32 and it's cluster sizes etc.
