U3 "bundled software" was the biggest pile of... well.. you get the picture.

It installed ghost drives up the wahzoo, and was very very overly intrusive as you stated.

Thank goodness they finally released an uninstall program after so many people complained about it.

As far as running a program off a flash drive, I agree the speeds need to be increased. Why is there not a Firewire based flash drive yet?

USB 2.0 speeds actually rival Firewire speeds as of now, but I'm sure that will change as the technology of Firewire increases and USB is left in the dust.
