This is more of "Will my machine boot a USB mass-storage device" & "Will
Windows setup see it & allow me to install to it" question than
specifically USB thumb drives.
Good writeup, wonder if there is a boot loader redirect (System
Commander, Lilo, etc...) solution for systems with BIOS' that don't do
bootstrap for USB drives.
Of course MS says it won't work, it would require them to make the
changes from the article or an OEM provided "Press F6" additional
drivers solution.
V. Cool, think I'll Digg it.

There are some that have done it with BartPE from a thumbdrive but I've
yet to get it to run at all on any of my machines.
