the technology was made obsolete by flash drives, which is funny, because windows got packet writing support in 2007, which is too late for cd-rw's to be competing with flash drives, dvd-rw's were slightly more competitive, but not for very long. also you can't use packet-written dvd-rw's in anything but a pc pretty much, unlike a usb flash drive.
interestingly, linux got packet writing support earlier, in 2004.

pic related is what windows calls it (live file system), there may be people who don't know the technical name for it and have been using it anyway
