USB mass storage with FAT is essentially univerally supported in every decent operating system since Windows 98 days and so is Fat32.
So what this gets you is instant compatibility with everybody's computer, anywere, running any operating system, with zero requirements to install any software.
You simply can't find anything that comes close to replacing that.

You must be joking!
Market !??... again a joke, right !?... Linus in Finland doing an academia project, who would thought that it would end up like this ???...
Market is **MADE**, there is no "invisible stupid hand" or something of the kind... John Adams was a stupid ignorant imperialist with moral "marasm" of the *royal* ancient england... we could not make science of a wasp stinging in the point of his nose...
... and INFERIOR, corrupted and subservient markets like the M$ one, only stick because of all those players that are willing to bend over... and take it...
Look i'm not in a trolling mod, TomTom got bad luck... bad luck... in any war there are causalities... they don't have to pass their woes to no one... it will take time of course... but replacing an outdated tech like Fat32 is only a question of time... not why...
The market battle is an uphill one ?... and it hasn't been so so far ??
Linux and the all OSS movement should move forward, knowing that they have infiltrated enemies, and not worrying about TomTom... not that this is something "news" either, for not mention the SCO case...
And GPLv3 is a very valid option.period.

Perhaps that is why there is some " who the well is this guy?", OSS is an institutionalized Industry movement now... speaking out overtly can get "labor" problems...

It has nothing whatever to do with what you're trying to say, or your poltical or sexual orientation, or even that you're not "one of us". Indeed, on my part I haven't bothered to find out people's real names or broadcast mine, so a large minority are no more than old-fashioned nicknames on LWN. You are every bit a part of the LWN community, as much as nix or I or drag or quotemstr or bodan.
We have no desire to exclude you. We amuse ourselves at your expense, solely on the basis of the way you express yourself in English. It really is that hard to comprehend what you write (and it can't merely be a non-native-speaker issue because there are very many second-language English posters here and most of them get by just fine).
It's rude of us. And "it's funny because it's true". Keep trying!

The well with who i am or anybody else, what is important are ideas, facts and the TRUTH... TRUTH ABOVE ALL...
Well for the second part i'm sorry i've not the effluence of Shakespeare in the English language... but i could bet a million that i'm much better at English, and people understand me reasonably well *enough*, than you are at my native language "xoddam"...
Another complain is this engine at LWN... there should be a Re-editing facility... many "typos" got by and then is too late... and i've seen many ppl present apologies afterwards...
why haven't nobody complained strongly yet beats me!... really!?... or is it there only for subscribers !!?

Provavelmente bem verdade :-)
but
> ... and people understand me reasonably well *enough* ...
may not be quite as true.
One difference is that I don't attempt to make myself understood in Portuguese (or any other language I'm not confident in). This may not be the only difference.

Its funny your future !??... its not the concern that appear on this thread!
what "us" are you talking about ?
sure what i can detect is irony, and i presume you are an OSS developer..
well i'm not... and i don't intent to be rude, but i believe you need *thousands* like me, to keep that "us" well and alive... to keep trying that you got a chance to exercise your art... don't you think so ?
No negotiation
What does TomTom really bring new that ppl haven't knew already or suspected... is there a reason to bend over to M$ now... and not before??
