![]() Good news though - PortableApps is the open source equivalent of U3! Worst of all, U3 is proprietary technology, so the inherent security risks presented by allowing foreign programs to AutoRun can't be detected or fixed by the masses. Secondly, U3 installs as a separate CD-ROM drive, and it's horrible to have a boss looking on as you plug your thumb drive into his precious computer and suddenly see the U3 splash screen because he has AutoRun enabled, freaking him out. And the good thing is, this technology works pretty well, except that it's a nuisance!įirst of all, U3 runs as a separate program, which means it's useless for applications where it's most useful, which to me is on systems that have access control and don't allow you install or run foreign programs. ![]() The idea behind U3 is great install applications on your removable device (usually a USB thumb drive) and run them anywhere with your customized settings in place. U3 is a great technology that happens to annoy the peas out of me.
