Can you elaborate on that?
As far as file systems go, NTFS/5 is miles ahead of FAT32. There are instances where certain devices don't support NTFS, but that's not a fault of the file system, it's a fault of the device.
Edit: I think what you're saying is that NTFS is much newer than FAT32, and that OSX doesn't work well with it yet. Is that correct? If it is, then doesn't the software linked above provide the missing file system interpreter?
I'm new to macs myself, so I'm not really up-to-date on a lot of the historical Mac OS quirks.
