 FAT32+ is a nice hack, and not difficult to implement.

OTOH, you can't CHKDSK any longer (and judging by experience not running
CHKDSK onve in a while is no particular clever idea), unless CHKDSK is updated.

You can't use XCOPY and friends.

Just booting Linux/Windows/... on this maschine might trigger a CHKDSK,
and your big Files are gone. Users won't love that ;)

IMO the only user of files > 4Gb are DVD rippers, burners, ... anyway, and its better (saver) if they implement a .ISO, .IS1, .IS2 scheme
