filesystems.5: wfix: ntfs: remove FAT comparison
The main point I was driving at with this patch was to fix
"Microsoft Window's FAT filesystems" (i.e., FAT filesystems which
belong to Microsoft Windows, which is decidedly wrong).
FAT32 first shipped with MS-DOS 7.1, as part of Windows 95 OSR2,
but it's a (relatively) simple logical extension of the previous
FATx filesystems (16 and 12 as we know and love them today, I
don't think the PC ever saw 8), hence the "VFAT" driver name ‒
calling FAT-anything a Windows filesystem would be a flat-out lie,
calling it a Microsoft filesystem would be, uh, facetious.
NTFS (as part of Windows NT), on the other hand, is wholly
different WRT the scope and feature-set (it does borrow some
layouting from FAT, but reading NTFS as FAT doesn't get you very
far, or much).
The replacing bit is also questionable, especially in a.d. 2020:
while it is true that you cannot install NT on FAT (after a
certain point? my memory ain't what it used to be), and must
therefore replace your existing FAT partitions with NTFS during
upgrades; Windows NT 4.0, the last product to be NT-branded came
out in 1996, i.e. you could not install Windows on FAT (and,
therefore, upgrade it to NTFS, replacing it) during my entire
lifetime.
Indeed, in $(date +%Y) we live in a post-NTFS world ‒ putting NTFS
in the same class as FAT beyond "is a filesystem" is a joke.
