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] [3]

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.
