Desktop Media creates desktop shortcuts for flash drives, removable media
When you insert a USB flash drive or removable storage like a CD or SD card into a Linux computer, you'll often see a shortcut pop up on your desktop. When you do the same thing in Windows, you probably see an often-annoying pop up menu asking what you'd like to do with your removable media.
Desktop Media is a small Windows app that brings up a Linux-like desktop shortcut whenever you insert removable media. The application can automatically detect CDs, DVDs, RAM disks, or removable flash drives or other storage. When you remove the drive, the shortcut disappears.
Desktop Media is available as a free download for Windos XP or Vista.

Wow, I actually always wished Windows Vista had that feature :)

And Mac has been doing this for how long?

You know, if Macs suddenly had a whopping great price cut, I'm sure you would be saying that it was great (and it would be), but I could respond by saying that non-Mac PCs have been a lot cheaper for ages.

Niceness. Hard links are a good addition.

you can do hard links in vista (I'd assume in xp also) by going to computer and right clicking on the drive. just click on create shortcut.

Of course those annoying pop-ups can be disabled too.
