exFAT released for winXP !!

Submitted by RMB Fixed on February 12, 2009 - 2:31pm

Great news for Flash-drive users, exFAT is now also available for XP ..

I highly recommend you install the hotfix and test exFAT .
Performance is excellent, file-system overhead negligible .
If you set the cluster-size to the same as your devices block-size it
outperforms all other generally available file-systems ..

The exFAT file system incorporates several improvements over FAT32. However, it keeps the simplicity of FAT-based file systems. These improvements include the following key advances:

* Support for very large files and storage devices

A Guitar Hero Game that actually works

The Frets On Fire game that has been created is a piece of crapola. I follow the download and install instructions exactly and have retried it several times but when i open it up using portable apps my anti virus software pops up about 3-4 messages at which point the app says an error has occurred and fails to open. What they should do is make a working version.

do portable apps leave ANYTHING on your computer?

I know you can run portable from a flash drive without isntalling anything, but I'm wondering if running a portapp on a computer installs anything into the computer registry or store any settings on a folder on the computer. basically, is there any footprint or anything left behind after the flash drive is removed.

also, do portapps suffer from anything that the full version doesnt? are they slower? or missing features?
