I hope to get a Chromebook in the future. It has been a long time coming but I can say I am in a happy place with Portable Apps, tablet computing, my Android smartphone.
Any device I own can be synced using the cloud, I can sync Firefox or Chrome, my redundancy program for browsers. I can save Firefox bookmarks and settings, I can sync my bookmarks with Chrome (which automatically saves my bookmarks in the cloud). I use FirefoxPortable, ChromePortable and ChromePortableDev versions (I can access Chrome Apps from Windows Quick Launcher now). When I start my Portable Apps Menu all the applets get updated. I like the fact I can take my portable USB drive anywhere and have all my files and applets. I go through them and find something new to learn every week. Thank you Portable Apps, I love the concept, I love the applets, I have so many of them. It has been a wish for a long time to move away from MS for a long time and Office it has been a long time coming but little by little it has been coming true Star Office from Sun was the start of this movement over a decade ago and I was happy.
I was naive to think that I could run Portable Apps without Windows. It appears that Windows will be around for awhile. Yeah, PC's are at the heart of Windows, Linux and other OS's.
It appears that cloud computing is growing and all you need is a tablet (iPad, Android, MS), Chromebook or a Windows machine to get access to the cloud. I am now The Guy to call for PC and WiFi fixes within the family and friends circle. What a hassle what I really hated was MS telling me to upgrade a 4 year old computer.Īs a former IT guy I know the hassles of keeping a PC and network running (I am out of that business since the Dot Com bust and Silicon Valley high tech jobs got shipped overseas). I constantly updated the patches and IE, until finally it was able to update. My current desktop with Vista on it and all the latest service pack works great now MS says I should update my Internet Explorer, but won't because they want me to upgrade. My 12 year old laptop with XP is working perfectly, for what I need to do. I am tired of having Microsoft telling me I have to upgrade. My need for Windows based software has shrunk by about 90% I am trying out many of the Google based software apps, Google Drive, Google cloud and of course Portable Apps. I was hoping that PortableApps could run on Chromebooks. Thanks for the clarifications on Portable Apps working on Chromebooks.
