I am almost certain it is not a single 60+ GB file, since all OSes may not support that.

You are right when you write tha blockchain is not in a single file, as other have explain it is splitted in many smaller files.

You are wrong when you write that all OSes may not support them... in fact maximum file size depends by the type of filesystem that you use on your drives... and also the old implementation of NTFS filesystem (used since windows NT version) has a maximum file size of about 16TB.

Nowadays, on windows systems, is commonly in use NTFS5 which has a maximum file size of about 16 ExaBytes.

I think you misunderstood the OP.

When he said:

I'm pretty sure that he meant:

"That may not be supported by all Operating Systems".

Meaning that there are some Operating Systems that won't support sizes that large (60GB) for a single file.

I think in that case that the OP is NOT wrong.
