I want to see the programs hosted here ported to portable apps. Ask Lee's permission first, of course!

what software and what do

what software and what do they do. i do not click links to sites that i do not know. it is a security risk.

Nothing much

From the looks of it they just change the UI of windows XP to look more like vista and 7 but i don't see the point of making them portable since all they do is make your computer look pretty and it seams a bit redundant since you'll have the PA platform up anyway for most of your programs.

Remember google is your friend.

They do more

You need to check them out a little more. I find ViGlance particularly useful, since it emulates the Windows 7 Taskbar. The grouping and preview ability make things much easier for me, but it'd be nice not to have to pin the apps all over again when I switch computers.
You see, I'm a student at ITT, and I'm often using different computers. But they're all set up exactly the same, which would make a fully portable version very useful. In all honesty, the other three apps I barely ever use, so my focus is on ViGlance. Plus, its user configurations are found in a single folder, in XP it's "C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\ViGlance\", and for me it's only two .BIN files.
