Microsoft we are in 2009 , why are the main windows installation files distribution method is still DVD's? why not flash memory?
Here is why i think why we need to shift to flash memory:
I always download the ISO, mount it to virtual drive ( i use Virtual CloneDrive) and follow the steps here to install from my USB drive. ( I don't need to burn dvd and waste money) .
Here is why i think why we need to shift to flash memory:
- Flash memory is faster and more reliable than DVD's (Bonus: no noise & less power to use)
- 4 GB USB drive cost only 8 US$ now (my company gives 1 GB USB drives for free)
- Some slim notebooks, and almost all netbooks don't even have optical drive
- All modern BIOS/EFI firmwares supports USB boot
