In response to the "What's on your portable?" threads we've seen here, I had a thought that hits closer to home for me, so I thought I'd start this thread:
Others and I have on occasion gleaned some useful app or another that we didn't know about from such threads as these, but not often, mainly cuz folks simply LIST their wares, rather than give us links or tell us about said apps. There ought to be, I'm thinking, something that will encourage folk to tell us something about these favorite apps they have on their drives.
Therefore, it is the stated purpose of this thread to not simply list your favored apps, but instead for y'all to RECOMMEND specific portable software you've found on the web - including links to same - so that the rest of us can also benefit from the gems you've mined from the www.
The only other 'rule' I'd posit here is that folks not post about apps found at THIS site, since linking to here would be redundant (not to mention repetitive).
I'll start things off here with a few of my faves:
1) Portable Opera - the best web browser around - IMHO (two variants):
http://www.kejut.com/operaportable
http://opera-usb.com/
2) NoteTab - Powerful, highly versatile/customizable text/HTML editor and viewer:
www.notetab.com
3) Universal Extractor - small app with which one can "make" (actually, 'cause to become' is more accurate) various apps portable:

4) PowerDesk - The single best File Mgr on the planet (again, IMHO anuyway...):
http://www.v-com.com/product/PowerDesk_free.html
5) ImgBurn - great little app for burning those Live Linux CD ISO files to CD/DVD. Also can be used to blank your discs.

I'll be interested to see what great apps folks have uncovered that I haven't yet run into myself
