Well apparently vista expects the device to support running programs written in .NET Micro Framework. Maybe that is some JVM like thingy. I am not sure what Microsoft means by "Managed Code". Since it seems to be architecture independant I imagine it is similar to java byte code or something similar. Perhaps vista writes the firmware/OS to the mass storage device and they talks to it after that. Is there such a thing as a write only usb mass storage device? -- Len Sorensen
