TECHNICAL NOTE: Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7 offer
the exFAT file system, which is not limited to partitions greater than
32GB (Fig. 108). Used primarily with USB flash drives, the exFAT file
system overcomes many of the limitations of FAT32. In addition to
Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7, the exFAT file system can work
on Windows XP SP2 with a special driver. Since Mac OS support
is unstable, sharing your LaCie drive between Windows and Apple
operating systems using this file format is discouraged.
