Funnily enough I would recommend sticking the OS on NTFS because it
supports a better security model, and put the data on FAT32 so it is
more accessible through other tools.

I think if you must run MS OSes you ought to use them securely, which
means not running as an Administrator - despite the fact that this makes
the whole thing a pig to work with, and using the security features that
comes with it which includes NTFS.

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean it is a good idea.
