Carry Operating system In your USB Drive


It was weekend, I went to my friend to discuss about the weekend planning. At that time he shown me project created by Microsoft it is "Microsoft Unleashes Natal Project (2009)". It was really good and new technology developed by MS. At that time I have pen drive and wants to copy some data from his PC to my pen-drive. He was using XP on a laptop provided by his organization, I actually scared about the virus Of course anti-virus software is there not to worry. but still now a days many home computers are mostly inflected so cant copy or attached any usb drive on the machine so what could be the option for.... Yes there is I am using Linux base slax Operating system from couple of months, it has many features like you do not need to install video audio software into OS. It already has freeware office,players required functions installed already. So boot your machine from pen drive and carry data without having any risk of virus.
