Microsoft today announced availability of Microsoft Data Analyzer, the latest product in the Microsoft Office family, which offers innovative graphical analysis and data visualization capabilities that will enable knowledge workers to rapidly identify new business opportunities, trends and issues.
Data Analyzer adds rich visualization and analysis capabilities to Microsoft’s current business intelligence offering of SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services and Office XP, which provides Excel 2002, Office Web Components and digital dashboards.
"Data Analyzer is a great addition to the Office family because it enables any knowledge worker to perform sophisticated analysis with an easy-to-use tool," said Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president of Office at Microsoft. "An application such as Data Analyzer is an example of how we are delivering the tools customers need to quickly and easily unlock hidden knowledge from their corporations and use that knowledge to make smart business decisions."

If you use NTFS your data will be protected and your system will be a bit faster but some strange things may occur.
For example, if you are brave enough to swap your motherboard and change it with another, your system will just halt. It will start to load and fail straight away. You can't even run it under safe mode since it will halt trying to find some files from the SYSTEM32 folder.
All your data will be unavailable since NTFS gives this protection until you reinstall XP system again. To give you idea how painful this is on an AMD Athlon 1400 with 256MB of memory, that's a 45 minute trek at least.
So when you install your XP and want to change your board, get ready to install Windows again.
