as luck would have it I got 2 32 GB corsair flash drives about 2 weeks ago on sale and I was wanting to put them to work...
one more question...if the iso is burned to a dvd...would it act like a live cd or a straight up install of 8
how about mounting the iso in VirtualBox or any VM

Probably neither. Windows to Go requires write access, to save driver info, swap drive, local appcache, registry, etc. Doubt it would be very useful, or work at all from a CDR.one more question...if the iso is burned to a dvd...would it act like a live cd or a straight up install of 8
I'm guessing the ISO would mount in a VM. Why not just run the install? VMs don't really offer the best Windows 8 experience, but there are many documented ways of getting Win8 to run on VirtualBox.

I did not like it...it seems to be designed for touchscreen tablets
I don't even have a smartphone and have no desire to get one even if they were free...
I don't text or tweet or facebook...
but that's just me...the younger folks seem like they have to be connected and interacting all the time and are oblivious to whats going on around them...

I noticed the same thing! Microsoft appears to be transitioning to a "single OS" design. One OS that can support PCs, tablets, etc. The Metro interface is maddening for me, but there is a registry key you can modify to essentially disable the Metro interface and navigate the OS like you would for Windows 7. This release reminds me of Windows 7 BETA... Random crash report generation, flaky generic video drivers... Don't get me started on the new IE

I have been running the developer preview for a little while now but I think I'm ready to throw it on a VM and stick with 7 for a while longer.
