I agree that this is a bug and was indeed going to write a bug report
myself but came across this one. Thanks Paul :)

Paul has mentioned all the places where an average user would search for
this task, but here is what should also be taken into account:

1. Formatting an usb stick should NOT request admin priviledges.
- In a business environment, this should be a task that a user can do himself, 
without contacting the support personnel (this is why I had to take my 
workplace's usb stick home to be formatted, as our office's Windows XP did not 
let me do it...).

2. There should be a choice for which file system to use.
- This should default to the one already residing on the stick for a fast 
re-format, but should the user need to, there would be an options-button for a 
full list of file systems to use.

Thanks,
Mikko
