Windows To Go workspaces is a new feature in the Windows 8 Enterprise version that enables users to install a full-version of the operating system in a USB drive and have fully featured Windows environment (OS, apps and documents) anywhere the user goes.

This is a feature intended only for businesses who often work with custom-build images and with specific settings and security configurations. And in any way Microsoft is pushing Win To Go as a replacement for the everyday desktop or mobile device — It’s just an alternate work environment.
