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.

Portableapps.com provides a rich array of programs that you want included in your suite. Apart from your usual Windows Start Menu, PortableApps suite produces another sort-of start menu in your pc, that of which containing your selected portable applications.

I do not keep a printer at home, so as always, I would have to save all my stuffs on my USB drive and have the files printed at the nearest Internet Cafe. Oftentimes it annoys me that such "Internet" shops don't even have a pdf reader installed in their pc or at times didn't bother to consider installing openOffice Suite hence my .odt and .ods files can't be editted at all. But those are just simple but really very disappointing and oftentimes hopeless cases I have encountered before I discovered PortableApps. I even syndicated the site by subscribing through their RSS feeds. (boo  for so much of the reading list!)
 
 PortableApps.com Suite and PortableApps.com Platform V1.6 comes with the ff programs:
But ofcourse you can always choose what to include and what not to include in your array of portable programs by choosing from their download list:

Here are my picks:
1. OpenOffice.org Portable* (office suite)
2. Foxit Reader Portable (Freeware) - small and fast PDF reader
3. Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (web browser)
4. VLC Media Player Portable - An easy to use media player that plays most audio and video formats
5. BPBible Portable - bible study tool
6. Java Portable (Freeware) - Work with Java apps portably
7. Java Portable Launcher - Run Java JARs portably
8. PNotes Portable - sticky notes to go
9. PortableApps.com Installer - the easy way to package portable apps.
10. DownThemAll! Extension (for Firefox) - download the files and images you want faster

Its portable,it's free,it's open source ... the possibilities are almost endless! Way to go PortableApps.com.
