Microsoft has been sticking to a strict "No comment" on rumors that a version of the upcoming Windows 7 operating system will be available on a USB memory stick.

Unlike the Vista and Windows XP Starter editions, the Windows 7 Starter will have the ability to run more than three concurrent applications on a PC, boosting the potential productivity of the netbook.

Wow, more than three applications at a time. Now that's real world multitasking. I can't really imagine running it on a USB stick for portability. We're talking about Windows here. The OS that BSODs as soon as you make changes to the hardware.
