The autorun function is really only a problem with Windows XP and under. Everything above that only autoruns DVDs/CDs. If you don't have a DVD drive, this shouldn't be a problem.
Autorun will get you picked off by a USB. I remember the good ole days of autorun.ini files to make your day suck..
Also yeah new windows asks but if you fudge it up once, it will go autorun everything on you until you disable it.
