Microsoft previously disclosed that Windows on ARM will feature a desktop mode to ensure an identical user experience between ARM and Intel-based tablets. On Wednesday, however, the software giant revealed that Windows on ARM won’t offer certain manageability features, <em>AllThingsD</em> reported. “Although the ARM-based version of Windows does not include the same manageability features that are in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, businesses can use these power-saving devices in unmanaged environments,” Microsoft said. In addition to the lack of manageability, businesses may be hesitant to use Windows on ARM due to its <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/09/microsoft-details-windows-8-for-arm-and-unveils-office-15/">inability to run, emulate or port existing x86/64 desktop apps</a>.

Microsoft detailed a new feature on Wednesday called “Windows To Go,” which will allow a business to offer access to Windows 8 and corporate apps on a thumb drive. “Growing mobility and consumerization trends pressure IT professionals to provide users with secure access to a corporate operating system and apps in situations when a device or network is out of the IT department’s control,” Microsoft said. “Windows 8 includes the ability to provide users with a full corporate copy of Windows (along with user’s business apps, data, and settings) on a USB storage device.”
The feature is compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines. “When users insert their device into any Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatible PC and restart the PC, they get their entire personal environment, and operate as a fully managed device,” the company added. “When they sign out, they can remove the USB device, and it is ready to use on another PC.”
