First of all, exFAT is a major improvement over FAT32 for Flash drives.
The fact that it is apparently only READ ONLY in a Linux environment
has nothing to do with Microsoft but rather with the FOSS community at
large. They could either purchase a license, which of course they
won't; or they could reverse engineer a driver for it.

There is also this link on the page:
http://www.tuxera.com/products/exfat-for-embedded-systems/

Perhaps that might be of assistance.

In any case, I find using removable drives far easier on a Microsoft
machine anyway
