Microsoft preps StartKey

Microsoft is working on turning USB-based flash drives into a “Windows companion”–a new product known as StartKey–that will allow users to carry their Windows and Windows Live settings with them.

StartKey isn’t just for USB sticks; it also will work on other flash-storage devices, like SD memory cards. Microsoft is looking to turn these intelligent storage devices portable “computing companions” for users in both developed and emerging markets, with availability (at least in beta form) likely before the end of this year.
