If you don't need the security features of NTFS, why bother?
I actually also believe that there may be something wrong with the version of NTFS in XP. Never before have I seen so many people with the problems you describe then when XP came out. It never seemed to be a problem with windows 2000.
I could never figure out if it was a coincidence because so many people were switching to XP, or if there was definatly something wrong with NTFS 5.1.
I have to admit, I seem to hear a lot less about it now. Maybe something has been fixed since the first release through an update or the service pack.
Not only do I not need the security features, I dual boot with 98 and I also like the comfort of knowing I can get to my stuff easily through DOS in an emergency.
(If it ain't broke, don't fix it).
