since it was invented...

fat32 = 32 bit max record = ffffffff = 4 gig ish max file size

ntfs does not have that limitation

personally i like my boot disk to be fat32 so i can repair it when windows crashes/messes up by bouncing into dos and fixing it, with ntfs its a lot tricker as you have to boot from the os cd/dvd and select recovery console or whatever and do a lot of manual crap.. had to do it recently and i very much regretted making the boot drive on the laptop ntfs for that reason....
