I was thinking and I realized the Windows To Go feature could be in the Consumer Preview build. And I thought it would be a stellar idea for Microsoft to sell USB 2/3.0 flashdrives that have Windows 8 installed on them. That way, you buy both Windows and technically the use of a PC. You plug it in to any machine, and Windows 8 is there along with your personal settings and files AND the use of your SkyDrive. Also, they have designed Windows To Go to be stable. You can plug out the USB drive while Windows is running and plug it back in, literally everything resumes back to normal. That to me, is a great idea.
I have to say this to the naysayers of Windows on a USB 2.0 flashdrive, I've already done it with Windows 7 and honestly, not only is it uber handy in enterprise settings, it actually works great surprisingly enough. I can run pretty Aero and use IE9 and Office 2010 without much of a hitch. This is USB 2.0 I'm talking about, impressive.
