StartKey
Startkey is a USB flash storage device developed by Microsoft and SanDisk.
History
StartKey began in May 2007 when Microsoft and SanDisk made an agreement to provide unspecified software to replace U3 that was included on SanDisk flash devices.[1][2]
Features
StartKey will turn USB-based flash drives into a “Windows companion” that will allow users to carry their Windows and Windows Live settings with them. It will work with other formats, including SD memory cards.
gollark: The only downsides are *minor* extra dereferencing overhead and additional space.
gollark: osmarksßspointers can point to:- local virtual memory- local physical memory- local disks- local files- other osmarksßspointers™- registers- arbitrary IPv4/6 addresses- URLs- arbitrary IPv4/6 addresses *and ports*- the output of short pieces of code embedded in the pointer
gollark: Actually, it should be 256 for osmarksßspointers™.
gollark: "Load far pointer" is only 80 bits → not 128 → uncool.
gollark: This is osmarks-approved™ assßssembly.
