DownloadSquad Shows You Useful Apps For Your USB Drive

"Portable applications suites are a great way to get your hands on a ton of useful software with minimal fuss. Got a new flash drive, or maybe an old one you don't know what to do with? Throw one of these suites on it and you've got an instant software Swiss Army Knife."

DownloadSquad rounds up four portable application packages that can make you portable with just a USB drive. Of the choices, I find that PortableApps is probably the easiest to use and most targeted towards the mainstream. All the others provide a considerable larger selection of tools, which while handy for power users, may end up confusing regular users. If you are the one who is singled out by family and friends whenever something goes wrong with a computer, you will probably find these extremely useful for troubleshooting. Portable application popularity has been stunted with the growth of web applications, but since some programs just are not practical web based, continued development of portable applications are safe. I have my own personal collection of installable and portable applications that I keep handy on a usb drive and many of them are included in several of these compilations. What is on yours?
