Yeah, I always carry Firefox, the GIMP, FileZilla, and Gaim on my
flash drive. And now with Google's browser sync, it's a beautiful

I haven't played with it much, but so far I really like what I have seen. Essentially this lets you carry around your own "personal" Windows programs configured just as you like them but can run them on any Windows computer. It also looks like that other operating systems will be supported in the future.
