Tweedle

Sorry to drag up an old thread... Actually no, it's people like you who buy it assuming its a normal flash drive who are annoying. U3's autoplay ability is excellent but people like you who buy it in a packet with the U3 logo never actually understood what it is. Then you're the first to moan about it and the next thing you know so is everyone else. Sandisk then get feedback that U3 is not popular and scrap it. The potential of it was huge but because people like you didn't understand what you were buying it's been dumped. For those moaning about the security aspects, its no more dangerous than a CD-rom that hasn't been completely disabled (and if you disabled it then why even have it in the machine?). As someone said on page 2, they handed them to students so they could know for sure that students had copies of documents. This technology also had other uses - such as onboard storage of drivers for USB devices. It would have eliminated the need for M$ to have to include thousands of drivers with every version of Windows and then bloating your hard drive. Didn't think about that last one huh. I have a tool kit for those who wish to remove their U3 partitions - pm me your email and I'll be in touch. You can also install your own .iso images to the virtual CD too (which is just as dangerous as burning a CD before anyone comments).
