| 197594 | 2003-12-05 11:01:00 | Ouchie.. Would it not be possible for them to start pre-formatting in Ext3, and then using a Driver for WIndows to recognise Ext2/3 File-systems (Im sure there's a driver out there to read Ext2/3 partitions for Windows..?!)? | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||

| 197596 | 2003-12-05 19:21:00 | Well since MS has paid out so much money to people filing law-suits against them for various "breech of patents", they need to find ways of charging other people to recover that money. | somebody (208) | ||
| 197597 | 2003-12-05 20:39:00 | I would be asking for a discount for such an "outdated" filesystem. Of course, Microsoft wait until it has been adopted and then, pay up, or else. Of course Microsoft spent millions developing FAT so they are entitled to it :p | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
