Nearly 40 million copies of Windows Vista have been sold in the first 100 days following its release, more than twice the sales of Windows XP over the same time period, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said in his opening keynote here at the 15th annual WinHEC. "We have been amazed by the response to Vista and what has happened in the last 100 days. So, in the first five weeks of shipping Vista, we have matched the installed base of any other operating system provider," Gates told several hundred attendees in an address entitled 'Platform Innovations for Today and Tomorrow'. In addition, Microsoft said that the follow-on to its Windows Server 2008 operating system will be an interim release due to arrive in 2009.

" Do you remember any XP ads talking up the switch from FAT32 (in Win9x) to NTFS?"
Of course you don't - because that switch happened a decade earlier with the introduction of NT, and of course W2K also had NTFS. Despite that, You can install and run XP on FAT32, although not recommened.
