and its not a rumour
its a well documented flaw in the ntfs file system
and if you searched the msn help forums you'd find it yourself
sad to say this,. but your very wrong
Pfft, take some advice from someone who know's what they're talking about and deals with NTFS file systems on a very large scale: There is nothing wrong with it.
Government servers even use NTFS these days? Why? Because it's perfectly compatible, contains security features, encryption and other things.

You've got to be kidding me -use a file system which doesn't support large files (max 4gb per file), has no security features or encryption, is full of bugs, doesn't support true unicode file names, no compression, recoverability, fault tolerance and a whole load of other things. Not to mention it is slower in accessing larger volumes (drives/partitions) containing lots of free space.
Stop spreading the fud!

NTFS won't be outdated for reasons I specified above.

No, it's not already supported by Windows XP, and it is a lot different in the way it handles journalling/cataloging of files stored on the hard drive - it uses a databased approach (correct me if i'm wrong).
This flaw doesn't even exist apart from your own experiences and problems people have had.

Because the fat32 file system (both read and write access) is supported in the linux kernel by default. To my knowledge only NTFS read support exists in the linux kernel and not in all linux operating systems.
