FAT32 first shipped with MS-DOS 7.1, as part of Windows 95 OSR2, but it's a (relatively) simple logical extension of the previous FATx filesystems (16 and 12 as we know and love them today, I don't think the PC ever saw 8), hence the "VFAT" driver name ‒ calling FAT-anything a Windows filesystem would be a flat-out lie, calling it a Microsoft filesystem would be, uh, facetious. NTFS (as part of Windows NT), on the other hand, is wholly different WRT the scope and feature-set (it does borrow some layouting from FAT, but reading NTFS as FAT doesn't get you very far, or much). The replacing bit is also questionable, especially in a.d. 2020: while it is true that you cannot install NT on FAT (after a certain point? my memory ain't what it used to be), and must therefore replace your existing FAT partitions with NTFS during upgrades; Windows NT 4.0, the last product to be NT-branded came out in 1996, i.e. you could not install Windows on FAT (and, therefore, upgrade it to NTFS, replacing it) during my entire lifetime. Indeed, in $(date +%Y) we live in a post-NTFS world ‒ putting NTFS in the same class as FAT beyond "is a filesystem" is a joke.
