MobaLiveCD adds USB drive support to Linux virtualization app

A while back, Brad introduced Dowload Squad to MobaLiveCD, a handy little app that allows you to virtualize Linux LiveCD distros right in Windows using QEMU integration.

Moba 2.1 now includes support for bootable USB drives. Got a favorite distro installed on your trusty thumbdrive? Pop it in, wait for the drive to become visible in Explorer, then press the LiveUSB button in Moba. Performance is on par with that of LiveCD ISOs running under QEMU. Of course, you get the added benefit of being able to access all the apps and data you have stashed on your drive.

Performance isn't quite what you get from running live distros in VMWare or VirtualBox, but it's a decent, low-impact way to test all those distros you downloaded and planned to check out -- but never did.

There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...
