Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you.

If you regularly work both from your desktop PC and laptop like I do, you know what a chore it is keeping your files synced between your systems. Plus you need to have a copy of each of your applications installed on both systems. This is where PortableApps.com Suite and PortableApps.com Platform comes in handy. Allowing you to take your programs, email, bookmarks and settings with you and use them on any windows computer.

PortableApps runs from your usb drive, ipod, or portable hard drive. Allowing you to take your apps with you and always have them when you need them. Best of all PortableApps is FREE, has no spyware or advertisements. PortableApps is also open source.

After trying out PortableApps I am sure I wont go anywhere with out my usb drive and PortableApps again. My usb drive isn’t just for saving my data anymore, now it has all my applications loaded also.
