Richard,
thanks for this post, it was a real breath of fresh air to me. it
seemed exactly what i thought was the case with U3, flash drives and
rev and was a very direct and honest assessment/path to this kind of
technology and the possibilities. I am glad you dont speak
marketspeak, i'm tired of trying to learn new dialects and translate!
cheers,
jeff

U3 is a new application of a very old Windows-specific technology:
the
autorun.inf file.
On any locked volume, Windows will look for an autorun.inf file
and, if
found, will launch whatever executable is specified in the file.
A "U3" drive is essentially a flash drive partitioned into two parts:
one read-only with the autorun.inf file and the Launchpad app, and the
other partition the user writes to. Windows sees the locked
partition,
finds the autorun.inf, opens Launchpad, and for anyone who's never
seen
a CD do this in Windows it looks like magic. :)
