For IT professionals, there is an opportunity for government IT to be instrumental in creating a modern, agile, and efficient government agency. However, IT professionals have great responsibility to support agency-wide success and meet federally mandated initiatives. With the launch of Windows 8, government agencies are even better positioned to be more agile, mobile and secure, with a platform re-imagined for today’s government needs.

In the latest version of Windows everything from the system architecture to the user interface, has been transformed. This report highlights one of the latest features of Windows 8, Windows To Go.
