Microsoft's FAT charges                                  Thu, 4 Dec

Microsoft will soon be charging manufacturers of flash memory card
devices and those which use them $0.25 per unit or up to $250,000
to use the FAT filesystem. For those who are unaware the FAT file
system was developed by Microsoft back in 1976 and has become the
standard file system for all digital still cameras....
