One of the greatest advantages of formatting your USB flash drive in MS-DOS (Mac) or FAT32 (Windows) is that you can access the stored data on every Windows OS installed machine regardless of the operating system working on it. Formatting to Ext 2/3 allows you to access the data only on Linux which is not generally useful.
