haybarn, before you start being foul mouthed about apple products (which you were already aware of), Let me tell you that it is MICROSOFT who prvents you from having FAT32 disk larger than 32GB. I can anytime format a 200GB FAT32 partition even on leopard!!!

And talking about compatibility, I think it's MICROSOFT who is trying their best to "not be compatible" with the rest of the world, a.k.a. linux and all other open system!!!
