Windows 8 can be run from a USB Flash Drive only with Portable Workspace Creator?

Linux already has the OS installation with a USB flash drive and it seems that Microsoft will make Windows 8 can perform the same way. Early copies of the leaked Windows 8 earlier this week, giving a quick picture of a feature called “Portable Workspace Creator.”

This feature is described as:
“Portable Workspace is a Windows feature that allows you to run Windows from a USB storage device.”

Those who want to use the Portable Workspace will need a USB stick with a capacity of 16 GB minimum.

It also displays the requirement to have access to the installation files of Windows 8 Enterprise Edition, so this could be a feature built for IT business and not just for private users. Maybe Microsoft did restriction somehow to prevent it from piracy.

Microsoft has not officially informed about this new feature at all, but hopefully will soon ensure Portable Workspace features, as well as other features such as History Vault, immediately.
