Using CoLinux, the Xming X server, and PulseAudio for Windows, the boys and girls behind the Portable Ubuntu for Windows project have turned the entire Ubuntu distribution into a executable that you can run within Windows. You can see some screenshots, and download it from their web page.

As much as USB flash drives have dropped in price, CDs are still much cheaper. 
CD-RWs yield about 900MB per dollar. USB sticks yield about 500MB per dollar. But CD-RWs are so slow, low capacity, and so unreliable that I went back to CD-Rs because trying to actually reuse CD-RWs was just not worth the hassle.
And USB flash is compact. Is that a 25 pack of CD-RWs in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?
USB flash rules! :-)
