Excerpt:

"The companies said the new offering will be designed so users can carry their personal computing environment — including a customized and familiar user interface, applications and data — on a flash storage device such as a USB flash drive or flash memory card."

Obviously documents can be made portable but configuration, data (as in SQL Express), and applications?  Suuuuure smells like Application Virtualization to me, and that means using my favorite software product… Microsoft SoftGrid!  SoftGrid can virtualize services, applications and their dependencies, as well a workstation configuration.

Better get up to speed with SoftGrid or be left behind!
