exFAT was supposed to be the new standard. But Microsoft went a little crazy with patents and license restrictions. As a result it's about as popular as JPEG2000. It's actually a shame. A better file system for removable devices was a huge opportunity for an open standard. Ideally they could have released a filesystem that was backwards (read at least) compatible. Large files could show up as multipart files when viewed as FAT32.
