Apparently 99.88% of Windows Steam users are using NTFS on their system... heh, I wonder what the other 0.12% is doing then. Are Windows 7 people stubbornly running the OS on a FAT32 filesystem? Can Windows 8/10/11 be installed on exFAT? I think one of those removed support for running from FAT32.

@noiob I'm so old I remember Windows Longhorn promising a new and improved filesystem that would revolutionize computers or something.

Oh those days when we looked forward to the Windows XP successor which would definitely be the best operating system in history...

@noiob "Some NTFS features are not implemented in ReFS. These include ... 8.3 filename"

Oh cool can we finally have files named con then? Huh Microsoft? You're awfully quiet.
