Portable OpenOffice.org 2.01 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-ideas-are-good-ideas dept.

VeryVito writes "Portableapps.com has released Portable OpenOffice.org 2.01 -- the complete office suite you can run from a USB drive for complete access to both your files and your office apps -- anywhere you go. More than just a neat idea, some say it's a perfect example of "the kind of innovation developers can make when they don't have to worry about selling as many licenses of their work as possible." I don't imagine we'll see a portable Microsoft Office suite any time soon."

    Maybe because the article mentions the sluggish, costly solution as an overpriced alternative to the free, lightweight and portable Openoffice.org? Or should we not link to that, either? (Regardless, the original submitter included the link).

  2. How big of a USB drive?? by eggoeater · · Score: -1, Redundant

    the complete office suite you can run from a USB drive

    Sure but how big?
    The zip file is 75 meg but will it fit on a 128 meg drive when unzipped?
