(Back truly, Ms was asking for a $300,000 smooth free to certificate exFAT for certain customer system groups, such as digital cameras, digital cameras and digital mirrors, with volume-based costs available for those who want to certificate it for mobile phone gadgets, PCs and systems, authorities informed me.)
