WOW! You mean there's some modularity coming?! Software that doesn't
require 50 bazillion dll's, dat's etc. scattered all over various
directories and no more need for having things write a ton of entries
into the registry turning it into a bloated terd?!

Subject: [PLUG] REDMOND SECURITY WATCH: Windows on a Stick
Linux has only had this since when, mid 2000's at least (late 2000 if
you count Knoppix on CD)? Given how mindbogglingly useful an "OS on a
stick" is, it's a wonder it took them so long.
Just to keep this post on-topic: Ha, Linux and F/OSS rule! :-)

REDMOND SECURITY WATCH: Windows on a Stick
By Jabulani Leffall
You're heard of a hot dog on a stick. But what about Windows on
a stick?
Microsoft and one of its certified gold partners, Spyrus, are preparing
to release the Hydra PC secure pocket drive for Windows PCs. This is a
portable USB tool designed for mobile government employees, government
IT contractors, soldiers in the field of battle and frequent Windows
users in the public sector.

The encrypted drive is designed specifically to protect Windows OS
architecture and related applications. It's scheduled to hit the market
in early March.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
