I'm not sure if this is still the case but I didn't like that it required installing the drive/software on the computer you plug into. my school's IT department blocked that, so it created problems. I prefer portable apps because they run directly from the drive and dont require installing software. I used a U3 USB drive several years ago.

One question: How does PortableApps differ from U3 technology? I've never used either, but it sounds like they do the same thing. Thanks for the post Andrew!

It's absolutely great. Most of my favourite apps will go on it and if you look around the internet there are a whole bunch more apps with portability built in or available the aren't mentioned at Portableapps.com. A couple of the most usefull apps are KeePass Password Safe, 7-Zip, Mozilla Firefox, GIMP (say "Bye! Bye" to Photoshop), the OpenOffice Suite and Pidgin (client for MSN Messenger, IRQ, AOL Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc). I also have all my contacts available. It's a great tool for when you're travelling. I’ve been using PortableApps for 3 years or so now. It’s absolutely great.
