Have you ever wished you could simply install some programs to your USB device and then, literally, take and use them anywhere? If so, check out PortableApps.
This aptly named software package does exactly as you would assume:
A portable app is a computer program 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.
PortableApps features many popular titles, such as:
- OpenOffice
- 7-Zip
- Notepad++
- Firefox
Of course, since all the software packages are free, so is PortableApps.
