Windows 7 on a thumb drive
One of the disadvantages of netbooks is their lack of a CD/DVD drive. Since Windows 7 comes on a DVD, installing it on a netbook might have to be done through an external drive. To get around this, Microsoft is said to be considering a setup with Windows 7 on a thumb drive. CNET reports:
Microsoft is considering offering Windows 7 on a thumb drive to allow Netbook owners to more easily upgrade their machines, a source tells CNET News.
The move, which is still under consideration, is one of several things Microsoft has looked at to try to make it convenient to upgrade machines that don’t come with a CD or DVD drives.
