The advantage of a USB disk is that its small and offers large storage space when compared with CD or DVD media- also they are reusable. We know that Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP are available in a CD or DVD package or as an ISO download from the Microsoft store. Carrying a DVD is not that easy as carrying a USB pen drive.  There is a recent trend in the ultra portable netbook segment. Netbooks are usually not equipped with CD-DVD slot.
