Actually that's wrong - i have seen countless times someone trying to 
plug such a thing in (both Windows and other systems) without it working 
(only turning up some dummy CD-ROM drive).

Since the whole thing seems to work by auto-running some binary from the 
stick any functional security system *should* prevent it from working.

The term 'smart drive' is probably supposed to indicate that the drive 
is smarter than those using it...
