USB Memory Drive with Windows 2003 for x64

I just plugged my 128 meg USB drive into my AMD64 system running Windows 2003 for x64 (Win64 for x64) Release Candidate 1 (Build 1289).  Low and behold, the drive was recognized and there were my files.  Very Nice.

While I am sure that there are still problems with device support, I am glad to see that my USB drive is not one of the problem devices.

There is a USB standard for mass storage devices i.e. a class definition, supported commands, etc. Only the initial thumbdrives and usb/ide adapters didn't adhere to this standard. Any MSFT OS with usb support ships with this class driver. Nowadays you should be able to plug in any USB storage device and have it function.

Plug in something without class support or try to install the supplementary drivers for something e.g. MSFT keyboard, thumbprint scanner, etc. -- good luck.
