Doesn’t really work that way. It’s a non-volatile flash module. That means regardless of its power state, the data is saved, much like a USB thumb drive.

And even if you could flash it/reformat it, once you do, you invalidate your copy of Win8. Oh darn, right?

I think I'll continue to use XP on my laptop and in Parallels thankyouverymuch

By the time XP dies, perhaps there will be OSX equivalents of my windows only software.
