It is the primary file system for various operating systems including DR-DOS, FreeDOS, MS-DOS, OS/2 (v1.1) and Microsoft Windows (up until Windows Me). For floppy disks, it has been standardized as ECMA-107[3] and ISO/IEC 9293.[4][5] Those standards include only FAT12 and FAT16 without long filename support; long filenames with FAT is partially patented.
The FAT file system is relatively straightforward technically and is supported by virtually all existing operating systems for personal computers. This makes it a useful format for solid-state memory cards and a convenient way to share data between operating systems.
