Today I was just lazily surfing through SourceForge.net. You see, I love trying out Open Source softwares very much. That's when I met PortableApps.com. Basically, it's just a platform for a large collection of portable softwares. PortableApps is an ideal solution for carrying your favorite apps in Pen Drives. It also has folders to store Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos etc. It also has option to Backup and Restore data.
PortableApps come in 3 flavors:
- Platform Only - This edition contains just the PortableApps stub. No extra portable apps are included. Extra apps should be downloaded and installed into the application separately.
- Suite Light - Apart from the PortableApp stub, this edition also contains several important portable softwares. Some of these are: Mozilla Firefox (Browser), Mozilla Thunderbird (E-Mail Client), Mozilla Sunbird (Calendar Client), ClamWin (Anti-virus), Pidgin (Instant Messaging), Sumatra PDF (PDF reader), KeePass (Password Manager), Sudoko (Game), Mines-Perfect (Game), CoolPlayer+ (Audio Player), AbiWord (Word Processor) etc.
- Suite Standard - The only difference with the "Light" edition is that OpenOffice.org (Office Suite). It comprises of Writer (Word Processor), Calc (Spreadsheet), Impress (Presentations), Base (Database Utility), and Draw (Drawing).
All the apps included are open-source and have been customized for PortableApps.com. Apart from these apps, a collection of customized portable apps are available at ProtableApps.com . Overall, if you are an extensive user of pen drive and have to switch between different systems, this app is a must for you.
