Run apps off a USB drive?

College Life

<p>Hey, guys, do you have the experience of running your daily used apps off a USB drive?</p>

<p>Which is I am now trying to do. But I find that only portable apps can be run like that. </p>

<p>while some apps like MS office are not portably available. How can I do that?</p>

<p>I don’t think you can use products like Office that require registration to run can be used on from a USB drive. However I have run AIM, Skype, and Eclipse (to name only a few) off my USB drive without any problems.</p>

<p>You can run OpenOffice as a portable app.</p>

I used that a lot while in HS and will probably have some apps on my flash drive again in college.</p>

<p>Just stumbled upon with [URL=“&lt;a href=“http://www.prayaya.com%22%5DPrayaya%5B/URL”&gt;http://www.prayaya.com”]Prayaya[/URL</a>]. I installed prayaya on my USB drive and then installed MS Office 2003 suite on prayaya. It seems working very well on other computers.</p>
