Gee, you can’t put MS Windows OS with the applications, tools and utilities on one CD and use it on almost any computer. And what good are MS disk utilities if you have to boot into MS Windows to use them? Besides, I rather like popping my Linux CD into any computer and using it and saving my stuff on a jump drive. Hate to say it but I sorta fear putting my data on the same disk as an MS OS. Live-CD Linux is the most fun I’ve had on any computer. I use Xubuntu and Wolvix for rescue and daily use.

I used this very technique about two weeks ago when some spyware infected my Windows system. Fortunately my anti-spyware blocked the malicious action, but could not delete the spyware files which had been loaded into memory. I shut down and rebooted with my Ubuntu Live CD and located the files which had just been copied into my Windows system folder. I was able to delete all of them and then reboot safely back into Windows. What would MS do without Linux? :D
