I use the portable apps whenever I am at my Uni doing work. I run Linux and OpenOffice at home and having OpenOffice on a portable USB drive lets me run it at University where I would otherwise be forced to use MSOffice. If MSOffice properly supported the ODF format by default I would probably be happy using it, but until it does its OpenOffice all the way. The ODF specification is an ISO standard anyway.

Can I run thunderbird off linux, switch the usb key to a windows box and still have my address book and old emails? Do the portable apps run on both Linux and Windows?
