Well this sort of pseudo solution is very complicated and not suited for most users that are today using microsoft windows.
Look an example linuxpendrive.com is only windows based for installing, so why to botter to give a linux solution since users have in most cases windows and would like to try debian live as a temporally alternative. Windows is better for most users, and have not so often issues as under linux. So many time I got peaced off of Ext3 for instance. In big companies, mostly networking/data are done by using Microsoft Windows Server also today, not to forget.
