Microsoft StartKey Flash Drive
Posted on Mar 5, 08 05:57 PM PDT
Microsoft is currently working on its new StartKey portable flash drive that will see action at the end of this year, storing essential information like a user's Windows profile, applications, and settings, making it portable wherever he/she goes. Sounds like SanDisk's defunct U3 platform, eh? This StartKey can even go so far as to carry an entire bootable installation, making computing more portable than ever. StartKey technology is not limited to just USB flash drives as Microsoft wants to make it compatible with different flash memory types such as SD cards. I suppose the StartKey can only work with Windows-based PCs that need certain patches installed before it can work, and will it pose a security issue for companies? Thanks to Tom’s Hardware for the image.
