Windows To Go is one of the coolest features of Windows 8. It enables a fully manageable Windows 8 system to be loaded on a bootable USB thumb drive. The first version of Windows 8 I played with came on a USB thumb drive from Microsoft and allowed me to boot to Windows 8 and use the new OS without having to install anything.

In an (Bring Your Own Device), Windows To Go gives businesses a powerful tool. Users can , and the company can supply the managed Windows 8 environment using Windows To Go. The user's personal OS and applications won't impact the business, and the business OS and applications won't conflict with the user's personal environment. Win-win.

DirectAccess

DirectAccess is not new to Windows 8, but it is unique to Windows 8 Enterprise. DirectAccess lets remote systems behave as if they're on the internal network without the need for a separate VPN connection. Users can connect to and access resources on the internal network from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection, and the IT manager can keep the remote systems patched and up to date, as well as monitor and enforce policy compliance.
