PortableApps Still Offers Herds of Free Apps in One Download, Gets Upgrade

by Sam Dean - Mar. 12, 2009Comments (0)

PortableApps has released an overhauled version 1.5 of its PortableApps.com Suite. Like previous versions we've covered, it's an especially good way to get a bushel of choice open source applications onto a USB thumb drive or portable computer in one download. Then you can use them on any computer, anywhere. The new version 1.5 of the suite has a new, much better-looking theme, and good security features. You can also launch applications as an administrator, and keep application icons out of menus--great if you carry your open source applications in your pocket. MacLibre offers a similar download for Mac users, and PenDriveLinux is an equivalent for the Linux crowd. Check out more on the new PortableApps version here.
