Startkey is an USB flash storage device developed by Microsoft.

[edit] Introduction

Microsoft, with help from Sandisk, is working on a successor to u3, called "StartKey" which 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 works on many formats, not just USB, including SD Memory Cards.

[edit] The History of Startkey

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.
