When did fips get NTFS support?

Partition magic does Ext2, NTFS and FAT quite well, which I haven't seen
any other tool do correctly and certainly not as easily.  It does seem
like a steep price for a tool most people will only use a couple of
times.  Of course if you frequently help other people with their
computer, having a copy you could bring to boot from floppy and resize
the drive is handy.

Oh well, I keep hoping one day gparted will make some sense.
