It isn't even that.  NTFS is a decent filesystem - too bad HP invented it.
exFAT isn't meant to be sophisticated.  Its a no-nonsense simple 
filesystem.  
I don't see what MSFT has to loose by releasing the specs or even putting 
it to open source and allowing it to be used pretty much everywhere.  Its 
not like they dumped millions of R&D Shekels into it.
