Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT) is a new file system that better adapts to the growing needs of mobile personal storage. The exFAT file system not only handles large files such as those used for media storage, it enables seamless interoperability between desktop PCs and devices such as portable media devices so that files can be easily copied between desktop and device. In addition, exFAT can be adopted with minimal effort; exFAT encapsulates standard FAT and TFAT functionality.
Lunedì 26 Marzo su Microsoft Connect inizierà il beta testing di questo nuovo file system, che all'inizio sarà disponibile per Windows XP e Windows 2003 Server e successivamente anche per Windows Vista e Longhorn. Maggiori informazioni sono disponibili su MSDN.
