Are you sure?  I think we've been formatting ntfs drives via 10.3 and
11.0, but I could be wrong.  And we are up to 11.1 on most of our
machines now so I can't easily test.

Formating via linux also gives you better access to control some of
the ntfs features.  One in particular is that ntfs under windows
defaults to maintaining an index of all the data on the drive.

We dislike that and disable it during the formating step.  Under
Windows you have to format first, then remember to back into the
filesystem properties and disable the indexing.
