I love it and wish I had time to build it. I've just done some googling on qemu on windows and found this from the olpc group on how to get it working: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Using_QEMU_on_Windows_XP Having not used qemu it may be really easy and I'm just pointing out something obvious! Something I did notice was this comment: "It is a 190MB download that will then use about 1.5G of your disk after it is unzipped and installed." If this is right then copying 1.5G off the thumbdrive onto a pc may draw attention on older machines with limited disk space but probably not on newer ones.

You can download the embedded version of Damn Small Linux including Qemu (handy since I've never really used Qemu myself) which weights in at around 50 MB. This loads a Linux graphical desktop environment in well under a minute on my laptop. I've done some messing around today, removed the X desktop and added netcat, nmap, vnc and samba and the install comes to just less than 40MB. This is plenty small enough to drop onto a victim PC.
