Portableapps Platform v2 - So Suite Your Teeth Will Ache

Portableapps.com almost single-handedly is bringing the digital nomad lifestyle into the main stream. This week brings the second coming of the launcher that helps weave it all together. John T. Haller, the head honcho over at Portableapps.com has done a lot of work on the menu launching system that has limited adoption by hardcore portable users. The dozens of great apps that he has culled into his site's offering have free, open-source, full featured versions of just about every type of software you can imagine. MS Office, digital post-its, Photoshop, Internet browsers, all can run from a flash drive and keep all your settings the same on ANY computer that you use. One of the main groups of people that can benefit from giving this a try is office workers. If you have a computer at home and a computer at the office why do you need a laptop? Keep your data synchronized and ready to travel at a moment's notice on a flash drive. These applications will also run the same amongst different versions of Windows. XP, Vista, 2003, 2008, Windows 7 all seem to have very little problems running these programs.
