After I sent my reply, it occurred to be that you might be doing exactly what 
you did. I certainly thought it was coincidental that you were asking about 
the same topic that was batted around on slashdot.

Yeah... I don't know what filesystem the industry might gravitated to in lieu 
of FAT. Perhaps it would be a Linux filesystem, but maybe not. What other 
formats are available and free?

Then again, there's still the issue of windows users not being able to use 
anything that isn't approved of by Redmond. Would it be possible to load a 
driver to read file format X? Or would that be an internal-to-the-device 
issue, where the device externally spoke something any OS could use?
