OT: thumb drive encryption other than U3

Anyone use thumb drives with encryption (not U3) ? I was just
wondering if it works okay for you?

Currently I'm using U3 and like it but there is a possibility that if
I go to Vista, my U3 thumb drive won't be recognized (not sure yet and
it can get complicated) making the thumb drive useless with U3 (but
useable without U3). So I thought the best / easiest way for me was
to just use some other 3rd party encryption on the thumb drive if I
can't use U3 when/if I go to Vista. I've thought of other ways
possibly but prefer just to use 3rd party encryption if it works well
on thumb drives and of course is Vista compatible.
