After several failed attempts I have finally managed to get Windows 8 on a USB stick - and it runs, though slowly. At first I had followed several guides from the web, but none of those worked for a variety of reasons. So I made my own concoction and finally got it to work.
The only mistake I made was to use a USB2 stick with 30/15MB R/W speeds. That is just too slow. I have now ordered a fast USB3 stick and will see whether that will make a difference - it should.
If some of you are interested in the setup procedure (it is a bit involved), let me know. But you should have a fast 16GB USB stick. Then I make a tutorial about 'my' procedure. At least I know now that this is working.
