There are a LOT of applications that are already out for portable use on the U3 system. I have recently switched to a 2gb Memorex TravelDrive. I've installed the portables for OpenOffice, McAffee AntiVirus (comes free with drive), Firefox, Thunderbird, and IrFanView (Image Viewer, can make ScreenSavers out of pics).
Overall, it's sweet. I now use my TravelDrive for family and friends who want me to troubleshoot their home PC for them. I bring this, and load up install apps for some nice shareware stuff (and explain to them about when they need to buy it by, if they like it, as well as how to uninstall it if they dont).
In short. The U3 concept is OUTSTANDING! I'm actually surprised that more people haven't copied it.
Oh. One final thing. The U3 menu includes an "EJECT" button, which takes care of removing the drive from your computer, SOFTWARE WISE (you know that you're supposed to disable the drive prior to pulling it out of the socket,... RIGHT?!). Makes life EASY.
