Now it makes more sense. Specifically:
"It is intended to allow enterprise administrators to provide users with an imaged version of Windows 8 that reflects the corporate desktop and as such is aimed at enterprises."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_To_Go
Perfect for all similar machines the image was made for.
That is a good use.
Hi there
I disagree here -- In a large work environment using similar hardware there are enough fairly standard and relatively easy (fot those guys - not the average joe) to image a reference machine and deploy it on to their company desk / laptops.
Windows to Go IMO is FAR more useful for people like roving consultants who might be working all over the place -- the clients software might not have EXCEL or a really OLD version or other business type of software. In addition you could have it in YOUR OWN language too.
I've also posted a scenario where you can add a Virtual machine such as W2003 server to it as well under Hyper-V so you could when demoing stuff in a public place say an exhibition stall just allow people to logon to your virtual server to test the stuff. - Avoids security issues etc such as people accessing company VPN's etc.
To demo the stuff just clone the bits you need on to your Virtual server -- and you are good to go --using the public wifi system too -- no expensive infrastructure etc.
I think the LEAST useful feature of this will be in Corporate deployments -- in any case the product is called Windows to Go so I assume it means ON the MOVE.
Roving consultants should find this really useful -- I run it from a small external HDD and performance even with the virtual machine running on the HYPER-V is fine.
A decent SSD will be even better.
Just unplug when finished --- excellent idea Ms.
@ fdegrove == I see you might be in Belgium sometimes
I like "The Six Nations Pub" in Brussels in the Rue Getry just near the Grand Place and not far from the central station.
Often in there on "Footie" nights so if you want a Beer --
I'll probably be there for the Chelsea Barcelona Game(s). !!
