From a business point of view, why did Microsoft open-source exFAT in 2019?
by exerceo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KAXR)
I am glad they did, given that exFAT is widely used and pre-formatted on SD XC cards and the only cross-platform file system without the 4 GB filesize limit, but what did Microsoft gain from open-sourcing exFAT?
They wouldn't do it from the goodwill of their hearts, would they? Whenever they say "we love Linux", it appears insincere.
What is the actual reason Microsoft did it?
