I am vaguely reminded of one of my USB thumb drives that came with that U3 software, firmware, and partition layout. It was an annoyance as it required separately unmounting the two volumes every time the thing was removed from the computer, and of course served no beneficial purpose as I don't run Windows.

The U3 people provided a tool to remove the U3 system and let the thing act as just one disk for data storage. The thing couldn't just be repartitioned as the firmware made it show up as two separate hardware devices. When I downloaded it, there was a brief survey as to why I wanted to de-U3 the drive, and one of the tickbox options was "I don't run Windows." The tool was, at the time, Windows-only.
