MS Wins whichever way the OEM go
Authored by: symbolset on Saturday, June 30 2012 @ 01:15 PM EDT
You can not implement exFAT or external storage, and just have USB instead. I
believe that's the course taken here. I wouldn't be surprised if Google came
out with a new removable flash media standard with a standard filesystem that
can freely be used.

MS Wins whichever way the OEM go - but for one route
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 30 2012 @ 03:14 PM EDT
Most products that currently use anyFAT (like cameras) come with an installation
CD for Windows. You may have forgotten, because on Linux you don't need that.

Don't tell me that the CD is so chockfull that the device manufacturer cannot
add ext2/3/4 (choose one) support for the Windows box to the CD.

If we FOSS want to, we could/should have s standard package that any oem can
use; which would llow not to have (n|n>1) versions of ext4 on the Windows box
because the owner has (m|m<n&m>1) gadgets.

Maybe TomTom could build such a package and post it with a GPL3 license ?
