Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere

Posted by timothy on from the simon's-nephew-perhaps dept.

museumpeace writes "On his blog, Jeremy Wagstaff makes available a list of the apps now packaged for USB thumbdrives. He also wrote these up in WSJ but that will cost you. My personal favorite is the FireFox in a box...every where I went, I had a different crop of bookmarks, now my browsing is the same wherever I go."

    "She wouldnt let me use it for 'security' reasons!"

    She did the right thing, good for her.

    She'd be a real moron if she let anybody come in, attach a rewritable drive to her business computer, run executables from it, then let you have your drive back.

    You should be happy she made that choice.

  2. Shouldn't this be how all software is designed? by Combuchan · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So I guess by "ultra-portable" they mean software that installs files in one place, doesn't touch the registry, and is easily 100% removable without bits o' crap left over behind?

    Isn't this how all software should be released?
