For people like me that have never heard of it:
Guess I need to get out more;)Quote:
U3 is a company producing a proprietary method of launching applications from specially formatted USB flash drives. Flash drives adhering to the U3 specification are termed "U3 smart drives". U3 smart drives come preinstalled with the U3 Launchpad, which looks similar to the Windows OS start menu and controls program installation. The method works with recent Microsoft Windows systems only. Applications which comply with U3 specifications are allowed to write files or registry information to the host computer, but they must remove this information when the flash drive is ejected. Customizations and settings are instead stored with the application on the flash drive.

i know what is u3, i'm using it, but i was wondering if there is another way to use it beside using a flash drive, like a cd or mini cd, or even a virtual flash device on pcQuote:
