NTFS... When I have run the two side-by-side on the very same system (I dual booted two different Win2k accounts), the NTFS seemed much faster when loading things, but not much faster when saving. It is, as CiKoTiC has said, far more secure. It is also more reliable.

Soon enough, on the other hand, we won't really be caring much about these file systems. As Microsoft's Anvil is released later this year (for 64-bit computing), so will their new file system. It will be tremendously faster, more reliable and secure than the current two.

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
