Computerworld reports:
Microsoft Corp. and flash memory maker SanDisk Corp. today partnered to build a new generation of USB drives and memory cards that lets users carry a personalized desktop and applications to any Windows PC.
The joint effort will devise a replacement for SanDisk’s U3 Smart Technology, the existing platform for securing USB and memory card data, running applications directly from a flash drive and customizing public computers with a user’s own settings. Microsoft will be responsible for the software side of the new, as-yet-unnamed platform, while SanDisk will handle the hardware.
If you’d like to get an idea of what this might look like, swing by the U3 Web site and take a look at what’s available today.
