Now that we have these relatively large mass storage devices, why not pack
them with tools to correct computer errors and get windows back up and
running? A 4 or 8 gigabyte usb drive could, for instance, contain a
complete operating system, able to run a virtual machine that could mimic or
monitor the boot using the computers current setting and/or analyze the os,
act as a replacement hard drive for the process, and provide tools to make
and try changes with an interactive mode.
A wide variety of color coded usb flash drives could be dedicated to
different tasks. From 250 meg drives to simply configure windows or set up
hardware/software, and/or stores of updated driver collections, using a
simple inter active menu, all the way up to 16 gigabyte heavy repair tools
with virtual machine assists. There's no end to the array of MSFT USB
dedicated flash drive services that could be offered.
Having such resources available would be such a huge increase in comfort
levels I doubt many would pass up the opportunity to buy them. Even being
able to tell when parts need to be replaced, without the aid of a technician
whose schedule is probably full and/or an alternative when all that's needed
is some short piece of code or a settings change. Because the files on the
drive would be read only, and still leave plenty of space for the tools to
store data. Viruses etc., could not corrupt them. Maiking windows as safe
as any read only os. But, without having to actually be one.
