U3 Technology

I just bought a new jumpdrive, but it had the U3 launchpad installed on it. I was going to uninstall it, but I thought I'd see what the general concensus was. Yeh or Neh? And maybe why if you be kind enough.

U3 bogs down older computers, dosent work on pre-win2k machines, and makes certain computers crash. However, if the computers you use it on dont crash when you pit your disk in, its a very useful program. mainly because you can store a whole browser and mail client on it, complete with stored bookmarks, settings, and mail options. in addition, you can install programs on your thumbdrive that make your lab computer look like your home computer, even down to recalling desktop folders and files. (see Migo). i liked it enough to not delete it, but ymmv.
