Nit-picking a bit, NTFS is case-preserving but case-insensitive. That is, given the right tools, it is actually possible to rename "foo" to "fOO", and the name will be stored as "fOO" (no case conversion is done). But yes, when matching a file name against the entries of the directory it's located in, NTFS performs case-insensitive comparison. AFAIK, HFS on Mac OS X exhibits the same behaviour.
