What are your thoughts on portable apps?
Personally I think they are great and I use them locally on my own computer instead of installing anything. That way I can do a clean install and be back up and running with all my programs and settings preserved within an hour without having to reinstall and configure everything again.

Makes me remember when I was a teenager and couldn't install anything on my WinXP due to "you need to be an administator etc...)

You are so annoying.
I like portable application because I can use them between Windows dualboot and Windows Virtual Machine on Linux

99% of my programs all run portable. The only programs that don't are photoshop and firefox.
Most programs get installed, then I copy the folder and deinstall it (all in a VM), If the programs runs outside of the vm then I keep it.

I use the portableapps platform for java programs because I don't want to install the shitty runtime.
