Microsoft's New Tollgate: exFAT on Flash Media
,----[ Quote ]
| What is exFAT and why should you care? Because the SD Card Association made
| exFAT the standard file system for the new SDXC cards, and because exFAT is a
| Microsoft filesystem that claims to be like so totally interoperable, but it
| isn't.
|
| [...]
|
| So it's business as usual in Redmond. Never mind all the fine talk about
| interoperability, Job One is still controlling the entire tech industry and
| erecting as many toll gates as posssible. Why not use something like ext2,
| which it seems to me is a good candidate for a low-overhead fast embedded
| filesystem? It minimizes writes, supports file sizes up to 64 TiB, and
| supports different block sizes so you tweak it for your particular
| application. But good heavens no, because that would require adding a driver
| to Windows, and even worse would not gouge money out of everyone. No, the MS
| way is to force a new closed proprietary standard and make everyone else
| dance to their tune. Ah well, it's economic stimulus in a way, by mandating
| makework industry-wide. Very innovative.

Ubuntu SD Cards With The Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ubuntu Eee project has just announced they will be selling SD cards
| pre-loaded with the latest version of Eee Ubuntu. This SD card can then be
| inserted into the Eee PC and you can run Eee Ubuntu right off of it. This is
| a great idea, but it would be even better if the cards were sold in stores
| along with the Eee PC.
