HI,
 
The question.
A friend of mine wants to buy a Sony Vaio Laptop running Win2k, but its configured to run FAT32 as per standard. He though is having also a new PC at work that will also be running Win2k but will be configured to NFTS.
What are his options a connecting the both.?
We he be able to share information. network up etc.?
Or is it best to get Sony to configure his new laptop to NFTS?
 
All opinions needed.

They will speak perfectly fine to each other. NTFS would be better for security tho, in the event that the laptop gets lost or stolen. One could use the built-in encyption with NTFS then. But if it is just for "normal" use, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
