True, but it's an external add-on that you may not always be able to
install on the windows machine (which in my case usually isn't mine).
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Mac OSX .. they all have 'native'
support for FAT32.
Granted, I don't see an easy solution for this issue (because in
essence it would mean that all others need proper ntfs support).
