Question formatting in USB drives

Now I bought a usb drive/thumb drive/handy drive/flash drive-whatever you may call it. The software that comes with it-has a format tool-that is fine. I can open in all windows mac os9 and OSX.

What type of hd format does the usb supports?

Just wondering. When I format using XP-NTFS-I can open with all version of windows and OS9, but not OSX. This is weird. I thought OSX is better than OS9-so should support the format. When I format it using OSX-I can open in OSX and OS9-but not in any windows platform. USB-plug and play does not work-there is a drive register-but nothing pop's out in explorer. I had to format the drive with the utility cd that it came with.

I think you should just format it FAT, it will work with all the O/S versions...
