There was a deal, it was working, and the US (well, Trump) unilaterally broke out of it (as usual). Your lame excuses really are disgusting.

Actually NT4.0 did not support FAT32 at all (unless you installed a little-known driver from Sysinternals I've never actually seen used in the wild). So maybe his work was on Windows 2000?

Fortunately, Xmille graphics have nothing in common with the original ones (which are really adorably old-fashioned and oh so typically '50s).

I think the first OS with this functionality to be IRIX 6.3 in early 1996. It integrated Netscape Navigator to the 4DWM file manager, and allowed you to browse both HTTP and FTP, and also audio CDs and even audio DATs if you had a DDS drive

In fact the service is tentatively targeted to content producers. Most post-houses do have LTO drives (it's a requirement to work with NetFlix among other to archive to LTOs). The idea is that any content owner can bring their tapes to
