Windows 8 runs off a USB flash drive We do know that the Windows 8 operating system has experienced a leak not too long ago (just three days or so actually), and here’s another nugget of information that you might find interesting – Windows 8 is capable of running off a USB flash drive, and one can also create copies thanks to the portable workspace feature. Just before you do that? Make sure your USB flash drive is not one of those crappy ones that you collect at roadshows and computer fairs, since it will need to come at a beefy 16GB minimum for it to work.

Windows 8: Windows 8 was revealed during CES 2011 and formally launched on October 26 2012. This new version of Microsoft operating system (OS) aims at bridging the gap between desktop OS and mobile OS. To ensure API compatibility between Windows 8, Windows 8 RT (for ARM-based processor) and Windows Phone 8, Microsoft has unified the code base of all those operating systems. This should make it very easy for developers develop once and deploy on all platforms with a minimal amount of tweaks. The most visible change is the Metro design language, which is very much suited for mobile applications.

If you use Windows 8, you can download Ubergizmo for Windows 8.
