I am afraid today is my "nitpicking day" ...  ;-)

But now this paragraph tells us that all these tools (including
Partition Magic) can only resize FAT16 and FAT32 partitions
and doesn't mention NTFS partitions at all.

So maybe we should change the last sentence in this paragraph into
something like this:

... All these tools can resize FAT16 and FAT32 partitions used in
MS-DOS through Windows ME.  Additionally GParted and Partition
Magic are able to resize NTFS partions (used in Windows NT through
Windows 2000/XP/Vista) too...
