Carry your Operating System in your Mini Drive wherever you go!

I found this very cool application on http://portableapps.com/. Features are as follow:

“Convenient

Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind.

Open

PortableApps.com provides a truly open platform that works with any hardware you like (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc). It’s open source built around an open format that any hardware vendor or software developer can use.

Free

The Portable Apps Suite™ is free. It contains no spyware. There are no advertisements. It isn’t a limited or trial version. There is no additional hardware or software to buy. You don’t even have to give out your email address. It’s 100% free to use, free to copy and free to share.”

I have read about it before but it wasnt until today I finally found this application by chance. This program is especially useful if laptop/pc sharing is very prevalent in your organisation, or when you switch between machines very frequently. Speed is quite reasonable and you can easily share your operating environment with your peers in case you would like them to continue on your projects. And oh btw, it works only in Windows :S
