Windows in a thumbdrive…
Windows in your pocket. Apparently the article was published in Septmeber ‘05. I’m a little way behind. But i bet not many have heard of a Windows in a thumbdrive. The whole OS in a thumbdrive thing was made popular with the Linux operating system. A mere 50 Mb was sufficient to fit in the Damn Small Linux OS equipped with an internet browser, an email client, word processing software and much more.
it would be safe to say that atleast 80% to 90% of you out there are not familiar with Linux. Well, i’m not that familiar with it as well. So this comes as good news to me, to be able to bring along a Windows OS in my pocket, complete with all my favourite software and surf the net with a secure browser…cool
all you need is a bootable USB Flash drive with at least 256 MB of storage capacity and a Windows Setup CD. With the help of Bart PE Builder you can install Windows XP on the flash drive, along with any other software that you need.
