I followed the link on the left to nominate PortableApps under the last category, "Most likely to change the way you do everything". It seemed the most appropriate one. Is that the one y'all chose as well? While the dev one was appropriate, I tend to view PortableApps.com as more a revolutionary force as opposed to usefulness. Because let's face it, the forks of the menu do more, and the apps themselves sometimes take a feature or two off to make it portable. They're not more useful than their installed counterparts, as for what they do.

They were important once upon a time but that is no longer the case. I'm not suggesting they be deleted, just not "stuck".

I am a friend to everything your portable apps are trying to accomplish.

But am bewildered by the apparent distinction between portable applications and cloud computing. Both seek to accomplish the same thing, although through different approaches.

What I don't understand, is why nobody seems to be interested in leveraging the power of each approach, and creating something even better?

Just had F-Secure AV light up on me when I installed the latest VLC build, anyone else seen this?

Because I can't use all my extensions nor favorite themes.
Many of my extensions are not portable.
This way Fx Portable doesn't give me the feeling of my Firefox.

In this case I can use the host's browser -
exact the same results.

Suite neither installed nor used.
I wish to have launchers of all my portable apps
to be collected in one place on the pen-drive.
E.g. in a dedicated folder.

Windows shortcuts don't work, they need absolute paths.
How would be the procedure for creating these launchers?

I'm looking for a RAM disk tool that can work in command lines so it can be integrated into PortableApps. I think it's the last piece of my Apache performance boost puzzle.

I've been trying to increase the performance of Apache within xampplite installed on my usb drive.
