Too bad, in my opinion, else it would make a better "common" filesystem to use for external hard drives, especially backup drives, that could otherwise be shared between Windows and Linux.

FAT file systems lack ownership and sufficient permission attributes to serve as a backup format for Linux or Unix file systems unless you're willing to save that information explicitly, say by putting the individual files into TAR archives. Randall Schulz
