Richard,
I am all for it. I think the idea of crafting our own launcher would
be good because this way we would not depend on the good will of U3
group to include it anywhere. The launcher could be used from
thumbdrives, network volumes, anything...
I liked it.
Cheers
andre

Thinking about this a couple months ago I came up with the notion
of "U4", an initiative to deploy truly open, custom-brandable
launchers with a set of known directories to make it dirt simple to
deploy even complex apps on ALL portable devices. It wouldn't have
the auto-run benefit of U3, but that's Windows-specific and a
potential security issue anyway. But it would have a simple,
consistent user interface for all platforms, and would offer a
simple set of data and program directories for developers.
Andre, should we make a "U4" group at Yahoo Groups to get this
going? Or should we just get back to paying client work with
proprietary custom installs? :)
I'm deploying to flash drives either way, U3 and beyond, but if
there's interest in establishing conventions for data storage
directories on the drive I'm happy to contribute what I can. If
the U3 folks are open-minded they may even be willing to endorse
something as simple as parallel directory structures as the "little
brother" of the U3 "smart" experience....
