I've found the benefits far outweigh the problems.
Extra steps - Sometimes requires a few steps at the beginning to get it to work portably. 
Upgrading - Sometimes this is a pain ( has some options here) License allows a single user to image multiple PCs (as specified in the license) Macrium Reflect runs as a portable application from USB Rescue Media.
Ease of backup/sync across networks (including cloud services). Linux-friendly - Often easier to run outside of the Windows (via WINE). Run multiple instances - Often at the same time (I'm running two copies of Firefox Portable currently). Self contained - Less junk added to the registry, which can slow down Windows computers over time. No installation - Rarely needs either admin or installer permissions so you can put this on a computer that's locked down. Different program versions - For programs with loads of configuration options you can have one copy dedicated to let's say banking and another for a totally different one like taking notes. Set it and forget it - It always works, you never have to track down the installer again, and if the latest version doesn't work better, it's easy to go backwards. I do not keep the ZIPs though.Ī list of benefits around portability (not comprehensive): I really do download about one of everything at. I don't know what you mean about Portable software taking more space. Then you can copy that onto your stick and have it where ever you go. 
What is so great about using that platform is that is you can get your entire collection of portable apps with a start menu on your PC. I don't grab everything at or, but I do get everything that I find useful and fun.įor a while I used to use the Platform. I have a big collection of Portable software, and it still fits on my USB drive. I have been using Portable Software for many, many years now.Įven after all these years, portable software is still small.
