For me, in the 90s ext2 was much, much reliable than ntfs. After a power failure ext2 will just run fsck and fix the filesystem while ntfs will sometimes give up.
I don't know if it was a file system related thing but you could bet on the Windows registry being borked beyond repair after just a handful of unexpected power cycles.
No. We had a NT4 server, handful FreeBSDs and one Linux. After several blackouts FreeBSD would lose file or two. NT4 workstation had no problems either, neither with registry nor FS.
