Both HPFS and NTFS are hard-disk partition type 0x07[IFS] because they are both "installable file systems" on Hard-disk. FAT16/32 are *not* installable file systems, they can't be mounted or unmounted.
BTW what did you mean by MS controls FDISK - the powerful, scriptable for CID, [configuration, installation, distribution] OS/2 FDISK has never borne any resemblance to that abortion from MS that couldn't even create more than one primary DOS partition!
FWIW, OS/2 since the Merlin convenience Package has not used FDISK - it was superceded by LVM, the Logical Volume Manager that works about 50 times faster than the W2KPro Disk Management Tools! At the time of its introduction OS/2-eCS gained the IBM JFS, downsized from the AIX version - OS/2 version with 2TB file size capability, 2TB volume size and a maximum of 128 volumes per system = 256TB, spannable across multiple physical disks.

Omitted to mention that with Merlin (Warp 4) in 1996!], voice Type Navigation and Dictation was an integral part of the Operating System and applications themselves didn't need to be specially written to be voice-aware, they automatically inherited it from OS/2!
If you wonder where Window Blinds came from - they were part of Object Desktop which was developed on Stardock's initial platform, OS/2!

Assembly is the *only* low-level language! anything that has to be compiled is enefficient!
