[ros-dev] Patent on FAT

[Mike Swanson]

What about implementing some system of UMSDOS for ReactOS? I think the 
Microsoft patent only applies to their method of storing LFNs, not other 
methods like UMSDOS does (which also supports a number of other features -- 
permissions, case sensitivity, etc).
