You cant back up 1300 school kids to usb drive! Schools and corporate environments are obviously places you'd have a different policy anyhow (and I think there's a strong argument for not having local disk for many users in either case). I had more in mind the possibility of being able to walk into an "Internet cafe", or use a friend's PC, or even perhaps PCs in hotels, on aeroplanes, libraries and so on. Just plug in a device you carry on your keyring, belt or around your neck and boot up and you get exactly the same environment as you have anywhere and everywhere else.
