As soon as it's available for Windows in early 2006. This would be a killer portable applications!

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew of any open source or freeware virtualization programs for ANY windows platform 98se or higher. (an x86 emulator to be precise.) bochs is too slow and i want something to run off a portable usb2 harddrive. any suggestions would be welcome, and if its not possible at this time, no big deal. i work with many different OS's in my classes, and this would be very helpful for homework, and when i cant get lab time while at school, (just hit the open lab (WinXP only, or the library[also winxp only]). Thanks for any help.

Since somebodies asking about a portable Visual Basic, what about a portable C/C++ compiler. DevC++ from www.bloodshed.net is one of the best free C/C++ IDE package. And it's not that hard to make DevC++ into a portable package.

For ease, I put it in a NSIS package which unpacks the compiler, run its, and then waits for it to close so the files can be remove. Works perfectly, all I have to do now is make the NSIS package load registry settings from a file, and when the compiler closes, hopefully save any changed registry settings for DevC++ back to that file.

The IDE is opensource, so there's not reason it can't be edited to load/save it's settings from a file, or that a portable version similar to the one I'm currently using can be made.

I would love to see a portable version of a recent release of WinAmp. I hate having to install it on every machine I get on.

If this can't be done at least a portable music player that isn't Windows Media Player that supports m3u playlists and network drives.

Thanks

I think Slax(http://slax.linux-live.org/) is a good choice.

This program is cool. The beta version support unicode.

I was thinking that it would be nice to have a portable skype, and I saw a post somewhere about someone asking about using itunes for podcasting while traveling (portable itunes), but these programs are not open sourced so we can't do that, right. So I thought what if we could make a program that treated any application like it was portable, so if you had room you could install skype or itunes on a usb key. What do you think? Is this possible?

Can you make a Portable photoshop cs or cs2.

thanks

How about a portable visual basic or something like it with an open source program?

Need a firewall, freeware, which can be launched from USB without need of installation over the host computer...

Have to be stable too.
