_Nothing_ is less desirable than FAT.
Yes, I much prefer fat-free wimmenz and low-fat foods also. Shedding FAT is hard to do too. ;-)
Every Windows system you will encounter can deal with NTFS.
Dunno. Still people around choking on Win9X, which requires a whole lot less RAM and CPU power than most user-friendly X desktops. :-p
Current Linux systems (from good distros) can deal with NTFS.
Oh, you're talking about filesystems again? :-) FAT has its roots in the '70's, originally for floppy disks, before the first *5* _mega-byte_ ST-506 storage disks for personal computers had their genesis. FAT and the PC BIOS are relics retarding the advance of technology. Divorcing yourself from dependence on them is the smart plan, at least with TB-sized storage media. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."
