Rufus is a free and open-source bootable USB installer creating tool developed by Pete Batard from Ireland. The first thing that went through my mind when saw its name is the character Rufus Shinra in Final Fantasy VII. So what does it excel at, compared with the classical UNetbootin, powerful Universal USB Installer, reliable Windows USB/DVD Download Tool and fast Win32 Disk Imager?
