Re: Bring compatibility problems to Window, not the other way around

Because you don't need EXT4 on a memory stick. On a memory stick you want the smallest possible overhead file system and no permissioning. exFAT suits this very well. Why do you want to waste space on my memory stick with another partition with drivers (which will be both out of date .. and also a virus writers delight)
