Is it a good choice though? Isn't there a bunch of possible issues with FAT patents, in case someone wants to ship a product that boots, that could have been avoided by using something else? (I don't know, I just have some vague memory of some Tomtom/Microsoft conflict due to FAT) edit: user 'xxs' managed to type up the same issue before me (while I was typing mine).

Yes you are absolutely right about the tomtom fiasco and they did end up paying MS.
