Windows to go

As I blogged before, i'm in love with windows 8 I think it is full of features, and opportunities for lots and lots of users, developers, OEMs, and MS partners.
In this post I wanna tell you about one of the features that I highly respect, it is the "Windows to go" feature.
Simply this feature allows you to have your windows on a flash memory, with all your settings, applications and other personalized features, and run it on any other PC that is running on windows 7 or windows 8, at the same time you will not affect this machine's OS by any mean as you are running your windows through your flash memory, not the local hard disk of this machine.

You will just need to choose your flash memory from the booting list while starting the machine you are going to work on, the computer will run the image saved on this flash memory letting you do what you want with it, from changing the settings to changing the apps, working on them, or downloading other applications, and those changes are all happening to the image running on that flash memory.

if you want to know in details how this feature is working and how to start using it yourself I highly recommend you this video from the Microsoft build event.

Have a nice day :)
