You want to tell me something I say is complete rubbish and you come out
with that. 

Just because fat32 removes files by their inode indicator rather than by
actually erasing the file does not constitute ware leveling. Just wait
until your MFTs/FATs run out of write capacity. Nevermind the fact that
windows itself has no way of write minimilisation in the OS, and the file
system implementation doesn't cache and wait to write. File system read
writes are regular in windows, just watch what happens when you leave a
windows box turned on, that light ticks every once in a while 'just
because'.

Also, everyone I know considers eeepc to be pretty specialised... It was
designed especially to be the eeepc, it isn't off the shelf, its a low
power machine, windows is designed to run on modern hardware. So don't even
start to argue. I can't be arsed with you.
