I'm using a CF drive. My reason to use it was to have a small read only system seperate from the data drive. The main problem with trying to use a Windows OS from cf or read only is Windows wants write access to a bunch of files just to open and use them. I'm using a simple linux install on mine. With the OS coming up read only I don't even bother with a shutdown controller, just power off. I am running a bit over 30 seconds from power on to playing music. I'm thinking of making my mp3 drive removable as well.
