But I just want 5GB files

  Microsoft just wants a check from you. We are all forced to pay for this ancient software every time we buy a device that uses it. Wouldn't this money be better used elsewhere? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Patents https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Patent...

    Microsoft isn't getting a check from me using FAT32.

      Hmm that's like saying Google is free.
      • babypuncher 4y ago
        Not at all, seeing as all FAT32 related patents expired many years ago

    AFAIK, FAT32 is Patent Free, even the Long File Name Patent has expired. The only patent left are on exFAT.

    You know patents have a limited life, right? x86_64 with SSE2 is also patent-free right now, as an example.

    All of those patents expired a long time ago
