If bootable off USB and compatible with regular windows programs, this'd be sweet!

Exactly, like I always wanted to have a nice bootable stick personal computing environment that was fully Windows compatible. (since I know USB Linux is easy to do)Include a Win 7-style desktop option and there will really be something to this.

IVY, have you tried Windows 7 PE?
You can run that off USB.

I hope they add desktop as a fundamental option, not just as an app.will comprise significant UI changes, most likely supposed to address the controversial Windows 8 features.

Windows Blue is looking good, I think Microsoft have either made an interesting business decision or have just confused most PC users with the many versions of Windows. I can guarantee a load of people people are going to ask me "So is Windows Blue like Windows 9?" lol
