Microsoft has developed different types of operating systems, keeping in mind the increasing needs and demands of the customers. Of the many operating systems that were developed by Microsoft, very few have gained huge popularity. Some of them are Windows XP, Windows Vista and the latest being Windows 7 OS.

Microsoft Windows uses FAT and NTFS as the file system. The main aim of a file system is to provide a structure to store and retrieve data from the hard disk or a partition. FAT is nothing but File Allocation Table, which comes with Windows XP operating system and in pen drives, memory cards, by default. However, it is possible to convert a FAT file system to a NTFS (New Technology File System) by using certain commands. NTFS is the latest and most advanced files system developed by Microsoft and comes with Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating system. While installing an operating system, it is always recommended to format the partition or drive in which you are installing the OS.
