Use an Operating System from a USB Stick
Do you want to carry around ALL your settings and not just portable applications? Do you have a netbook and would like to try another operating system? Perhaps you don't have a CD or DVD drive and would like to use another operating system. Well now you can - by booting one from a USB stick!
