It lacks the permissions and other security features built into the more modern NTFS file system. While FAT32 is okay for USB flash drives and other external media - especially if you know you'll be using them on anything other than Windows PCs - you won't want to FAT32 for an internal drive. A FAT32 partition must also be less than 8TB, which admittedly is less of a limitation unless you're using super-high-capacity drives. Individual files on a FAT32 drive can't be over 4GB in size - that's the maximum. Flash drives you purchase will often come formatted with FAT32 for maximum compatibility across not just modern computers, but other devices like game consoles and anything with a USB port. The big advantage is that because it's so old, FAT32 is the de-facto standard. The FAT32 file system's age has advantages and disadvantages.
