Microsoft Finally Ups FAT32 Size Limit

You probably don’t spend a lot of time using the FAT32 file system anymore, since it’s thoroughly been superseded many times over. Even so, Microsoft has seen fit to deliver an upgrade …

It's just a frontend change to allow the creation of 2 TB partitions (up from 32 GB) with Microsoft's own tools. Nothing in the actual filesystem was changed.

This isn't newsworthy. They removed a frontend restriction they themselves placed. I've been creating fat32 partitions larger than 32gb for a long while on Linux.
