Windows To Go review
By Sandro Villinger | IT World | Published: 17:25, 10 August 2012
Overall, I came away impressed: Windows To Go offers the entire Windows 8 functionalty on a handy USB thumb drive. This should make things easier for any IT pro who would rather carry a USB stick than a laptop. What I don't understand is why Microsoft hasn't talked licensing yet and why this feature is strictly enterprise. I assume Microsoft will open up Windows To Go for a broader audience sometime in the future. Until then I can only advise admins to take a look and evaluate how Windows To Go could ease some of their BYOD (bring your own device) pains.

Joshua Clark said: Very nice thorough review But if you only tested it on 100 Mbps than how would we know how well it works on lesser speeds Also I might be forced to buy a external hard drive if it requires 32GB of space It doesnt seem very efficient at this stage I see the benefits of this being investigated however but I think it should be cracked down to the essentials of the operating system like debugging and maybe word That way it would still have value as a essential element in the IT guys toolbox but wouldnt compete with the market of operating systems that come installed
