Ik heb de faq niet bekeken maar dit is onzin.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP can read and write to FAT32 filesystems of any size, but the format program on these platforms can only create FAT32 filesystems up to 32 GiB. Third party utilities are available which can format larger FAT32 filesystems, upto 2TB. Thompson and Thompson (2003) write[8] that “Bizarrely, Microsoft states that this behavior is by design.” A Microsoft knowledge base article[4] indeed confirms the limitation and the "by design" statement, but gives no rationale or explanation. However, a Microsoft TechNet article states that the 32 GiB limit was an arbitrary limit imposed because many tasks on a very large FAT32 filesystem become slow and inefficient.[9] Peter Norton's opinion[10] is that “Microsoft has intentionally crippled the FAT32 file system.”

Je kunt dus, zoals al gezegd, gewoon in fat32 formatteren vanuit linux, en dan kun je het in windows ook gewoon gebruiken.
Je zou ook ext3 kunnen gebruiken maar dat heeft wel als nadeel dat het lastiger wordt om hem mee te nemen en bij iemand anders te gebruiken bijvoorbeeld.
