  Version: PortableApps Suite (Standard Edition) 1.1

  "Fantastic!! Why didn't I discover this sooner?!"

  by kagedmunky on December 9, 2008

  Pros: FREE; Lots of handy tools; portable so all your bookmarks, extentions/add-ons and settings go with you; doesn't leave any history on the computer

  Cons: Limited apps - not all applications are available in a portable version. You can't just install the regular version of the application you want to make it a portable one (i.e. MS Outlook)

  Summary: I travel a lot and it is essential for me to be able to be productive where ever I am. This is the PERFECT application that I wish I would have discovered sooner because I can take all of my Firefox settings with me on the go and use them when I'm out of town. I can have peace of mind knowing that my settings are always there because the applications are stored on my USB drive and it's secure because no confidential information is left behind on the computer I'm using.
  
  The only drawback is the limited applications available for it. You can't just install any application as a portable one. I'm in love with MS Outlook and don't plan on getting divorced from it anytime soon! Portable Apps does make up for it though with plenty of other free, open source applications like Mozilla Thunderbird & Sunbird.
  
  Once the applications are installed they show up on a nice, 'start menu' style dashboard that you can access from your system tray. It even allows quick, direct access to documents, music, pictures and videos stored on your portable device (USB drive, iPod, etc)
  
  I can't believe it's not butter! Thank you technology Gods!!
