What are you smoking, ntfs and the nt os leaves a lot to be desired. NT does not handle a hard shut down and power up nearly as good as EXT3. Speaking from personal experience. NT leavies a number of .tmp files laying around after such a cycle. I don't see linux and ext3 doing this. In M$ defence, they have done a better of handling this in Windows 2000 and NTFS, but it is still not perfect, or as reliable as ext3 and linux. Oh yeah, I have found that the same holds true for linux and reiserfs, and its superiority over ntfs. I can not prove it, but I find reiserfs better then ext3. I think it is based on what I have read so far on both systems, but that is all I'll say on this.
