Thank you!
USB Mass Storage has never worked. It kinda partially works with dedicated partitions, but I don't think it'll ever fully work until we go NAND - then the SD card is free from its shackles!

Anyhoo, ADB has worked forever... which allows for a faked USB mass storage ability using Droid Explorer. Have you read the FAQ?!?!

There's also USB tethering, which seems out of the scope of your question, but you weren't very specific. For a while it required a special app, but in the newer kernels this works natively.
