“Essentially, it’s the entire operating system stored on a USB drive. Very cool.”

And very old. Linux has been able to do this for a long time — off a USB, off a CD, off a DVD, off a spare partition, off a virtual desktop, etc.

It is good news, though. You’ll be able to have a Windows USB so you don’t have to have it taking up space on your drive — I like that.

off a USB



2 problems here.. First is making the USB bootable.. not an easy ticket unless you know how to do it.. Second is GETTING it to boot from the USB I think the BIOS makers should put that in the auto boot sequence, but they don't :/ You have you hit F4, F8, or F12 while pre/post boot to get the option :p MOST PC users don't know that :/
