@himay: This application is more for convenience sake rather than portability sake. It will be useful only if you are using Windows on several machine and have the installation rights.

Just out of curiosity… this requires an installation process, no? I guess I have a hard time seeing this as useful for portability’s sake–I use a lot of different machines too, but when I’m not on my home machine I usually don’t have the rights (nor would I presume to) necessary for installing software. And software installation is generally a more lengthy process than browser launching.

And the portable version requires a USB drive…exposing me (and my contacts) to information theft or loss.

So…this is useful if you prefer installing an application on a foreign machine instead of just using a Web browser? :-$

Or am I missing how this is useful and who it’s useful for?
