Please!!!! Stop asking for portable operating systems. all of us regular users of this site are sick and tired of seeing the constant in flow of portable os requests. for one, we already have a portable operating system (not developed by us) called Mac-On-Stick. second, a truely portable operating system is already in the works and will be done when it is done!

so once again, Please stop asking.

[Results] #portableapps - Operators, Gurus, and DeMos

Submitted by Patrick Patience on October 31, 2008 - 9:59pm

Howdy all, I just wanted to inform the community of the changes that have occurred in the PortableApps.com IRC support channel, #portableapps on irc.freenode.net.

As discussed previously by Ryan, there are 3 main 'positions' we've set up; Operators, Gurus, and DeMos.

Operators have full channel access, and have the most 'authority' in the channel.

Gurus are members who hang in the channel often are and typically helpful in providing support to users as well as managing the channel.

A truly portable XP operating system?

Submitted by omniryx on October 31, 2008 - 7:33pm

Let me preface my question by noting that I am a psychotherapist, not a computer guru. I'm married to a PhD in computer science but his area is quantum information theory and that offers little in the way of help.

My question: Is it possible to develop an XP-type operating system that will run truly portable? I.e. leave no traces on the computer when it is shut down? If so, is anyone working on that? Status?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
