8 On the Stick
The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is often used as a venue for product and concept releases. This year’s offering is Windows 8 as a portable operating system that can run on removable media, specifically a 32GB flash drive. All programs and files are saved as a portable virtual operating system. This will further drive the use of virtual machines into the hands of business and end users.
Techeye has a good take on what this could mean for the future.
