Hi guys,

Just read at www.osnews.com that MS has eventually patented the FAT filesystem. My question is: How does this afect linux or BSD or any free OS?

Will Dapper ship with FAT enabled on the Kernel? Or will this be like MP3 support?

I'm in a hurry, just wanted to hear your oppinions. Have fun,

Miguel
