Portable Apps

[South Malaysia]

Didn't know if any of you know about these but I didn't...

Portable Apps or Portable Applications are computer programs that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.

I downloaded the Lite Edition of the Portable Apps Suite....

ClamWin Portable (antivirus),
Mozilla Firefox - Portable Edition (web browser),
Gaim Portable (instant messaging),
AbiWord Portable (word processor),
Sudoku Portable (puzzle game),
Mozilla Sunbird - Portable Edition (calendar/task manager),
Mozilla Thunderbird - Portable Edition (email client)
and runs comfortably from a 512MB drive.

&& the only difference between the Standard and Lite is: Uses AbiWord Portable (word processor) instead of OpenOffice.org (office suite) Portable and runs comfortably from a 256MB drive.

That's just the Suites...they so have other portable applications you can get like....

go to portableapps.com and find out yourself and their is a nice little list!

I have heard of them, but I haven't found any for the Mac to my knowledge.

Yeah, I haven't seen any also. That's odd.
