Halo, Office 2007, Safari Now on U3 (With the Help of One Man)

While everything surrounding U3 has stopped, here's a webmaster who keeps all the U3 apps coming. This guy - not affiliated with Sandisk and U3 - basically repackages high-profile software titles to U3-compliant software that allows users to run them on their U3 drives on the go. After checking the site out, you can find quite a large number of titles ranging from the latest OpenOffice (2.4) to FireFox beta (3.0), Safari (3.1.1), Microsoft Office 2007, PS2 Emulator, PhotoShop and even Halo Combat Evolved. Even though we don't know the reactions when the publishers find out their titles are being ported to unauthorized platform without permission, the website is indeed the most populous U3 community out there. If you are still interested in the whole U3 idea, check out MS' StartKey which is fundamentally based on U3 except MS will do all the hard work of making software portable.
