This is only partly true, and infact the most ketogenic macronutrient is fat (esp. the HB Olive oil and other monounsaturated fats).
Only 10% of fats can be converted into glucose (the "enemy" of ketosis) while around 45% of proteins can be converted into glucose.

NTFS is much better than FAT, but is not compatible with windows 3.x/95/98/ME or DOS, but compatible with Windows XP, 2000 and NT.
