Abstract

A user's computing environment (102) is imaged and copied to a transportable storage medium (112) and virtualization technologies are utilized to allow the booting of the transportable storage medium (112) on a host computer system (122). A virtual computing environment manager (110) may exploit virtual machines, micro kernels, boot loaders, and embedded driver sets to allow the transportable storage medium (112) to be bootable and executable regardless of the hardware platform to which the transportable storage medium (112) is attached. The user's computing environment (102) is instantiated on a virtual machine implemented on the host computer system (122) rather than using, altering, or otherwise effecting the applications, settings, or data on the host computer system (122). Thus, users can easily transport their entire computing environment (102) among various hardware platforms on any host computer system (122).
