the eject thing is what you do on a mac it works really well, much easier than going into that thing on the bit next to the clock on windows...

You can do it on Windows, too. But only on removable drives, e.g. the 16Mb Duo on that screenshot.
Thats quite poor
So what am i to do? If it does not respond to several attempts or anything
its not the driver fault.
Turn off right caching (as has been said above a gallizon times now) if it still persists, and won't let you eject it, then using filemon, find the program thats trying to use it, if nothing is, its probably the firmware of the device.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Oh, filemon, that must have been what i used last time i ran out of patience with this.
Now i just have to wait until it does it again

if its plug and play and all shouldn't you simply be able to unplug it and then plug it back in to play....
Erm that's not what plug'n'play means - by that logic, i should just be able to plug and unplug my plug'n'play PCI cards... Plug'n'play just means that (in theory) the OS and BIOS take care of resource assignment for you, unlike the old ISA cards where you had to configure assigned resources yourself via jumpers and the BIOS.
DIL switches, i loved those guys, no more sodding jumpers.
Jumpers were fine when i was six, and had little girlie fingers, in fact its the only point i conceded to one of my lecturers as to why there should be more women in computer science than men (because she was telling me how 30 years ago the balance was more in side of the ladies).
But on topic, this is a protection mechanisim, you've got to love the fact its there, if you want i can tell u how to write some code that will just KILL the pipe, and courpt everything, not very useful, but it would let you eject it

What... your supposed to tell the computer that your removing a USB storage device ?
Hmmm... I'm a firm believer of waiting 5 secs after the last files transferred and then simply pulling the pendrive out without all that messing about
For my iRiver your suposed to remove it fia the little thing in the system tray (As it works like any other removable harddrive). But that icon went. So i gave up on removing it, and just unpluged it. No problems so far.
It gets on my tits that. I just unplug it - there's never a process accessing it. No application or HD activity.
