Its an old oudated Microsoft page, it also says on the same page, "Disadvantages of FAT32 include: . . . .
FAT32 volumes are not accessible from any other operating systems other than Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98."

although that may have been the case at the time of writing this is clearly incorrect and out of date as nearly everything can read fat32 noawadays including most flavours of linux.
