Now the new problem is that after running this uninstaller, which did eliminate the U3 software, but it converted the 8 GB to a 4 GB! What a rip-off! Sandisk you will not ever get any more of my hard earned funds! Basta on the Sandisk! ]]>Feb 26th 2009 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/

(I'm getting away with just 2GB one, dumping teachers' network drives to it :P)]]>May 11th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/May 11th 2007 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/May 11th 2007 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/

If I want a portable app, I will get the Makers PORTABLE version that will work on ANY Flash Drive. Then to make it easier to launch them, I'll get a Portable Menu System like PStart!

I have a U3 1 gig flashdrive... And I have run a tool that the maker released to REMOVE that U3 crap.

Many of the apps available for U3 were for Puchase only, and were EXPENSIVE for what they were.

I also sncountered issues getting the U3 launcher to launch on some computers. And without the U3 launcher, your portable apps do not work.]]>May 11th 2007 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.portableapps.com and using that instead. That doesn't leave any footprints on the computer, and it runs much more efficient. ]]>May 11th 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.mandriva.com/en/linux/flash.

Fun fact - you can't just uninstall U3 - it stays on your stick until you use the special U3-uninstall software downloaded from SanDisk website. If you use this with anyone else's PC, they will be happy to know that U3 is getting automatically installed on their system just by plugging in your drive. Not unlike certain viruses.

U3 sucks in so many ways, I could fill a whole page now. But let it suffice to say - U3 is complete and utter shite, annoyware which installs itself all over the system. I didn't get to the part where it's supposed to solve some problem because I uninstalled it before I ever got to that part.]]>May 12th 2007 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/microsoft-and-sandisk-team-up-on-u3-replacement/May 14th 2007 1:29PM
