I confirmed that the logged in account was administrator level (as they have been at both stores I've checked so far). The normally smooth "floating bubbles" screensaver was choppy for about 25 seconds as the hard drive activity light was going. After about 5 seconds of nothing, I returned to my shopping trip.
Disappointing when I got home to find that there was no .log file at all. So something in Vista is preventing it from working (perhaps autorun is disabled?).

There are more complications due to Vista compatibility with the mobile apps themselves and the legacy issues that prevent launchpad upgrade for some U3 drives. For example, Sandisk U3 drives with firmware 2.1.5 and 2.2.1 support Vista while firmware 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.2.0 do not support Vista. - Ian Chiu

The 10,000.00 USD/11,555.70 CAD Question
I currently have a 2GB non-u3 drive with ~1GB of portable applications
Do I?
A. convert the apps to U3 using one of the available packagers (lot of app to do)
B. Move the apps over and use them non-U3
C. make a switchblade and do B since the switchblade doesn't use the launchpad? (which one I see at least 3 versions although links are dead for some)
