I'm not sure that your experience with NTFS _is_ more balanced - I've |
| 11 |
seen a number of PCs this year which fail booting into Windows |
| 12 |
(displaying the XP splashscreen before rebooting again in an unending |
| 13 |
cycle) which have been repaired using only chkdsk. |

Because the user liked to power his PC down at the wall - for energy- |
| 16 |
saving reasons or peace-of-mind over house-fires, I'm knackered if I |
| 17 |
know - and because "it was taking too long to shutdown" when he wanted |
| 18 |
to go to bed - I know one of these was unplugged whilst still shutting |
| 19 |
down, but surely not all of them were. |
