I *think* I remember this being posted before a while back.

IMO they should have either charged for it from the offset, or not at all. Starting to charge for it once it's a global standard takes the piss 🙄

edit: ah! here ya go: Slashdot: "Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System"

What, like it screws the consumer and competition? That's standard Microsoft business practice. I thought people realized this and would be expecting stuff like this to happen by now.
