As we all remember from the FAT vs TomTom debate, Microsoft’s strangle hold on FAT file systems has created some headaches for companies like TomTom, who have used it for their own embedded devices.
But the Linux Foundation is working to provide companies affected by Microsoft’s FAT patents with alternatives. Hopefully, this will be enough. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how it works out.
Hopefully at the end of the day, embedded devices still using FAT for their file system will be able to embrace a workable alternative before the next lawsuit comes about. If this does not happen, I can only see this issue becoming worse.
