Creating a non-certified Windows To Go USB drive
On the Go
Summary
Windows To Go isn't for everyone. In fact, I think it serves a relatively small demographic right now. At times it could be useful to the traveller, but most of us won't need it. The security risks of using it are too great to the host computer, so its use will be limited in all but the most secure companies.
W2G is interesting, however, from a purely technical point of view: Now Windows-oriented folks can use a complete, familiar operating system, just as Linux renegades have been doing for years.
