| 1123226 | 2010-07-29 07:07:00 | Hey, guys, do you have the experience of running your daily used apps off a USB drive? Which is I am now trying to do. But I find that only portable apps can be run like that. while some apps like MS office are not portably available. How can I do that? |

What revisions did the DMCA get that would allow running MS office from a USB stick?

| 1123232 | 2010-07-30 07:05:00 | thanks. tried mojopac, only with a blank screen. it seems not working for me. anyway, get MS office 2003 suite installed on [edit: spammer blurb removed] and run it on another PC off a USB drive.

| 1123235 | 2010-08-03 05:50:00 | Run/Update a few portable apps, mainly for the benefit of family members, if I need to diagnose/scan their PC's. Trouble is with portable apps, and I guess with any virtual system, would be the constant updates and upgrades for the software, running scans, troubleshooting (if any), and so on... |
