Windows 7 Multiple Partitions on USB Flash drive [Windows 7 Multiple Partitions on USB Flash drive]

Does anyone know of a trick to get Windows 7 to let me create multiple partitions on my USB flash drive? I tried the XP trick of hacking the cfadisk.inf file to make the drive appear as a fixed disk, but it is not working in 7.

I want to throw a Windows 7 launch party but I see the party kits are all gone on Houseparty. I don't really care about the "free" Windows 7 dvd in that kit, but I would like the decor and party favors. Can I buy one of these kits on a Microsoft store site somewhere? I see the kits are going on ebay for upwards of $200-300. I just want some totes and posters and t-shirts.

This looks like some very cool technology. What I'm wondering is if it is intended in part to enter the data historian market as a direct competitor, or is it intended to build on top of other data historians to bring more efficient and effective BI capability to the table. I suppose its success in that market will in some part depend on the emergence of various DCS/SCADA adapters.

I think this is big news and represents a huge market opportunity for partners.
