Should I format my USB stick with NTFS or FAT32 if using only with Win ?

Should I format my USB stick with FAT32 or NTFS if I plan to use it only on WinXP, Vista and Win2K
systems ?

I would prefer NTFS. Are there any downsides ?

Use NTSF if you want, you would only have an issue with "other"
operating systems.

BTW the microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support group is for
discussion of issues involving Windows "Help and Support" "as in
"Start", "Help and Support"
