Agreed.

Why use FAT32 in this day and age? Would you even consider creating a poll to ask 'Candle' or 'Electric Light'?

This poll kind of goes hand in hand with which operating system do you use...

Yes. Go to a command prompt and run this command:
CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs

See this thread for more information.

I use FAT32. Too lazy to change and I really don't have any reason too.

All my partitions are NTFS except for the one that I keep personal data on. That one is FAT32 so It can be viewed fron Win9x.
