So called "Smart USB" drives are being developed to users can feel at home with any computer they happen to use. This should be a real boon to users who move between a bunch of different computers (such as me). However, the licensing issues for the programs are already creeping up. I hope this doesn't kill this before it even gets off the ground.
For those not in the know, the idea behind a smart USB drive is that you can run your desktop and selected applications just the way you like on any Windows PC and then leave no trace of your existence once you pull the token out. In theory, people that shuffle between home, office and public PCs would see immediate benefits - or so goes the story at U3.
