Now start from begining

1. Windows 8 Pro vs Enterprise - What's the Difference?

Ya ya by now everyone know the differences

http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2013/02/04/windows-8-pro-vs-enterprise-what-s-the-difference.aspx



but will be interested to use 

Windows To Go (W2G)

 to 

create a boot up disk

(another topics in another email)

Anyway, the first requirement is 32Gb thumb drive

(But you can use a external USB drives !!)



1.1 Actually you can create a Window 7 or Windows 8

W2G without Windows 8 Enterprise

Or in theory you can use any thumb drive that is USB 2.0 and/or less than 32Gb

ConClusion

IF you want to have your own PC without physically bringing the big laptop or PC

then you can have the same working environment using W2G

or try

<3. PS: past History and now and future Creation>

(To be fair I have seen this concept 20 years ago on Sun microsystem<died after buy over by Oracle>

it use "dumb terminal" and "access card" credit card size

just need to plug in the access card into dumb terminal

Login to Sun Workstation or Server

Your last working environment will appear

work half way and put off the access card

You goto another dumb terminal and plug in same access card

Also immediately your last working environment appear)

All the while ,  most of Linux version has this boot up thumb drives

again you can have linux running on a just 2Gb thumb drive

the famous is

There are two other products

one is a android mini pc thumb drive ****

other is android TV box

This should another topics but I leak out here

Now IOS and Android seem to be increasing very similar

China is making its own OS and so will Russian

I have seen Chinese mainlander perfer to run windows XP on Mac Air

Blackberry OS died as few countries ban it from sending cloud data to Canada

Now is all western or US Windows, iOS , Android

(Google Chrome OS maybe the first to died off)

So I think An Asia OS or few OSs will appear

http://www.china-cos.com/news/detail/news_id/18.html 

but COS is still too early

will first 

run modified android or new  OS on Apple hardware iphone, Mac etc

or 

by then Apple port iOS to run on Intel Atom  

if Apple continue to be propriety then last iphone 9 may end up like blackberry 10

Russia and China should join force

to create min sites in eg Mongolia

with hp and pc industrial , hackers sites and data centers ....

dream on ... to be continue ....
