PortableApps.com Suite
PortableApps.com Suite is a massive selection of portable programs and utilities that can be run from a USB drive

USB drives do not just have to be used to store file - they can also be used to house portable apps that can be run from the drive on any computer without the need for installation. This makes portable apps ideal for anyone who finds that they are regularly working on more than one computer and do not want to worry about having to ensure that the software they need is installed.

The PortableApps.com suite comprises a massive range of portable applications which cater for most day to day computing tasks. A portable edition of Firefox is included to meet your web browsing needs, while Thunderbird and Sunbird take care of email, tasks and calendaring. Further communication options are available by using the Pidgin instant messaging tool.

Sumatra PDF is part of the bundle for viewing PDF files and there is even a portable antivirus tool in the form of ClamWin Portable. KeePass can be used to securely store your passwords, while CoolPlayer is an audio player that can be used to listen to your favourite music on the move. PNotes is a not taking application and serious work can be undertaken under AbiWord or OpenOffice. There are also games included for entertainment.

There is little difference between the Light and Standard editions of the suite, other than the fact that the Light version includes the AbiWord word processor rather than the portable version of OpenOffice.
 

Verdict:

The PortableApps.com Suite contains such a number and range of tools that it could easily be used as your complete software arsenals - everything you need is included.

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
