A: The work fine in every OS I've ever tried them with
Try booting off of it with that crap still there. The drives are sold in a defective state and need to be repaired to be used to full potential.
D: The U3 feature can easily be turned off so the drive looks like any other cheaper flash drives.
the official tool only runs on real windows. wine fails. In virtuslbox with USB pasathrough, the tool crashes. I guess installing windows just to remove U3 isn't exactly difficult, but it is a colossal waste of time.
