"Windows: Can't decide whether you should commit your spare thumb drive
to Windows recovery, Ubuntu, or some other live-booting OS? Run
MultiBootISOs on your USB drive, and you won't have to choose—you'll just
choose between them at start-up.

The folks at PenDriveLinux.com have created a Windows tool for creating
what is basically a GRUB multi-OS bootloader on your USB drive, along
with a nice long list of systems that work with it. All you have to do is
grab an ISO file of the system you're adding to your drive, then drop the
whole ISO file onto the drive (occasionally with special instructions).
There's all the usual Linux cohorts—Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, etc.—but
also some great rescue tools and utilities, like the GParted partition
disc, Ophcrack password reset, and virus scanners. You could even load a
Windows 7 installation DVD onto your thumb drive, if you had the room."

Neither have I. Looks cool, though.
