a little off topic

would it be possible to put an ( operational ) OS on a 8 gig thumb drive ?

There's a generic windows xp that is made to run off a thumb drive, it's configured to run with almost any hardware.

You can install a retail xp on an 8gb thumb, but hardware compatibility becomes an issue between machines, too many differences and it won't run at all or it will demand a relicensing to keep using.
