Well apparently vista expects the device to support running programs
written in .NET Micro Framework.  Maybe that is some JVM like thingy.  I
am not sure what Microsoft means by "Managed Code".  Since it seems to
be architecture independant I imagine it is similar to java byte code or
something similar.

Perhaps vista writes the firmware/OS to the mass storage device and they
talks to it after that.  Is there such a thing as a write only usb mass
storage device?
