Almost all for me as well.  However, I did come across one brand new
Sony laptop with XP on it that was NTFS.  It was odd though.  It has a
20 Gig HD, and there were two NTFS partitions, each 10 Gig.  Everything
was installed on the first partition, so adding Linux was as simple as
blowing away the unused NFTS partition.  Weird.
