In some circles there is speculation that Windows 8 has a “security” feature that could block open source operating systems. Until it’s actually released, we have no way of knowing. What we do know is that when Windows 8 comes out it will be more portable than ever in the USB drive world. This is due to the Windows To Go feature which will allow the operating system to be booted from a USB drive. The genies behind Windows demonstrated how a USB device loaded with Windows 8 performed operations while the USB key was plugged, but stopped as soon as it was removed. Then, after being plugged in again, the USB drive picked up right where it left off. Cool! We love that the possibilities for fans of portable media continue to expand.
