Exactly what I was thinking. Not to mention USB 1.1 compatibility.

BTA: does it hurt you, to have to post such bad news? i mean sure, you arent the one making this crap up, but i'd have trouble posting something like this without smartass comments.

OS's dont like booting from USB very much. its got latency issues and a maxmimum speed of 30MB/s. not to mention that moving USB ports can change drive letters, so the OS may not like being used on a different port.

If a labeled press-release, with its obvious marketing hyperbole on a tech website can trip some people out so bad, I'm glad I'm so far away. Please discuss on the product the release wants to talk about.

And here comes the start of the "Compatible with Windows 7" tags...
Not bad sizes...I'm sure the price will be somewhat ridiculous.

supports readyboost haha, from what i saw in a review readyboost only makes a difference when you have 2gb of ram or less, and even then it was just 4gb and 2gb drives that showed notable improvement. 64gb of readyboost , and what isn't compatible with windows 7? interested in the price though.
