Windows To Go: free stuff by Microsoft

My PC is secure. I always click on those 'You May Have a Virus' pop-ups and install what they tell me to.
Wow. It's butties like you that keep IT people awake at night. Actually it's a mixture of coffee and Game of Thrones (yes, of course the books) that keeps IT people awake at night, but you're not helping. But Windows To Go should change that: this portable build of Windows 8 lives on a USB stick, which you can plug into your malware-stuffed home PC to boot as an independent machine. You'll log Into your work computer - secure and IT-managed.

But how? it is magic?
No, you great ciabatta. By using all of your PC other than its hard drives, Windows To Go gives you the muscles of your home machine (or one in your hotel, or at your mum's house) but not its crazy, virus-addled brain. Cloud storage means your data stays where your IT guy wants it to stay, and it can even resume from where you left off if the USB stick gets unplugged by an inquisitive child or dextrous pet (just as long as you plug it back in within 60 seconds). And as It's not a pricey-looking laptop, it's a lot less likely to get nicked than, say, your new Windows 8 work laptop.
Cool! I'm going to go buy one!
Steady on, you eager bap. Windows To Go isn't being sold as a product. It's all part of the functionality built into Windows 8 Enterprise. It's likely something you're issued with, not something you'll buy. OK, muffin?

Windows 8 in USB form, wherever you are - great news for businesses
