I honestly don't know what the format shares are for external drives over the past 8 years, but I do know that the bog-standard Buffalo 250GB external USB drive I bought 3 years ago arrived formatted FAT32. And I strongly doubt it's an outlier. Clearly the future is not FAT32, but it's not so far in the distant past as you make it out to be. And it does it really matter, because it's not as if it has to be a choice of _either_ FAT32 _or_ NTFS.
