Portable Apps is cool

This week I delivered a DSA training, one of the students was carrying an USB stick with all his favorite applications. When he plugged it into a PC he could run them immediately. I thought wow this looks like some sort of application virtualization. The beauty of it all is that you can get this for free at Portable Apps. Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind. PortableApps.com provides a truly open platform that works with any hardware you like (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc). It's open source built around an open format that any hardware vendor or software developer can use. The Portable Apps Suite™ is free. It contains no spyware. There are no advertisements. It isn't a limited or trial version. There is no additional hardware or software to buy. You don't even have to give out your email address. It's 100% free to use, free to copy and free to share.
