Do all partitions on a computer have to be formatted with the same file system?

Not necessarily. If you only use Windows, it makes no sense to have different file file systems, as FAT32 is rather inefficient and Windows 2000/XP/Vista default to NTFS anyway. If you dual-boot with Linux, you should use different file systems, as Linux doesn't handle NTFS very well, Windows can't read Linux partitions (like ext3 or ReiserFS) at all without additional software, and FAT32 is unsuitable for both. If you use Linux by itself, you can use multiple file systems without any issue, although sticking to one may be easier for performance or maintenance reasons (ReiserFS is faster; ext2/3 has more widespread support in various recovery tools).
