Portable Applications for the USB - PortableApps.com


This is a must have for all you 'heavy-duty' computer users out there. A software which contains all your favourite programs in their portable versions. Quite handy if you are moving around different desktops all the time, so you can carry your settings (like instant messaging) without any trouble. The pack contains all kinds of useful software like Firefox for web browsing (like you didn't know that!), Pidgin for all your instant messaging needs, and more importantly, a portable version of OpenOffice, the Open Source alternative to Microsoft Office. The pack comes in 3 versions, which vary on the number of applications they contain. Still, the biggest download, containing all the software is exactly 113.72 Mb, which expands to 350 Mb once installed onto the flash drive. 350Mb is reasonable, considering all the software bundled into it. You can grab this software from www.portableapps.com
