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.
Amen. I got a U3 drive because it was 1g from super cheap but the software is just a pain in the butt. I run some stuff of of portable devices such as firefox for when i am on computers that dont have it and so that i always have my bookmarks. Mainly I just use my drive for moving small files and carrying some music.
