The Gadget Report 08: Windows 7 on Thumb Drives?

 

 

 

 

Hmm. This story was picked up from a source at CNET. The basic premise of this one is that windows 7 will be sold on USB thumb drives. Lets dig a lil deeper shall we.

 

As you may know or not know yesterday pre-orders for the soon to be released OS were availible to consumers. One of the questions is netbooks. Most netbooks are more or less lacking on the disk drive front. The realm of ultra portable devices may have issues loading the brand spanking new and hopefully better than vista OS on there internet browsing devices, or will they. A source at CNET has told editors that the operating system may be availible on USB thumb drives to the netbook market. This could cause some issues in one way or another such as compatability, getting it to boot properly, the drive breaking, or not. Who knows. It would also bring a whole new wave of accesability to the users. All in all it sounds great, but is it real.

 

 

Either way, this would be a great idea. Some issues aside it would really give that extra push to get netbook or even alot of computer users to get the new OS.
