windows to go windows 8 microsoft

MicrosoftMicrosoft just demonstrated a feature of Windows 8 called Windows To Go that lets you store Windows 8 on a USB drive and use it on other PCs.

Windows To Go puts all your apps, settings, etc. on your USB stick. From there, you pop it into another PC and a full version of Windows 8 is up and running. It even works on machines running older versions of Windows.

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

LoL! THAT is funny :)

Man, I hated typing out the commands in Basic... couldn’t go back and correct the line, so would have to start all over again >.<

(BTW, is that a true story?)

Yes, back in the 80’s the Vernon Township school system forked out for several TRS-80 computers.
Then they were going to familiarize us with the beasts.
It went swimmingly.
First enter time and date.
After that, watch the green blinking prompt.
End.

Until one burned up for some odd reason.
Never did hear why, if memory serves.
