Hot Review: Portable Apps

Salah satu kontribusi terbaik dari dunia open source (menurut hemat penulis lhoo) adalah aplikasi Portable Apps. Apa itu Portable App?

Portable App adalah program/aplikasi/software berbasis Windows (kenapa Windows? Biar orang tidak selalu mengasosiasikan Open Source dengan Linux, karena memang Open Source tidak sesempit itu) yang dapat Anda bawa kemana-mana (baca: portable) dan dapat disimpan dan dijalankan langsung dari portable devices Anda, seperti Flash Disk, Ipod, portable hard drive dan lain sebagainya. Ketika Anda menancapkan USB Flash Disk yang sudah di-install Portable Apps ke komputer, maka Anda dapat mengakses semua program yang biasa Anda gunakan di komputer pribadi Anda, lengkap dengan bookmark, setting, password dan lain sebagainya. Dan ketika Anda mencabut USb Flash disk tersebut, data-data tersebut aman karena tidak tertinggal di komputer.

Portable apps ini sangat berguna terutama Anda yang terbiasa dengan bookmarking alamat website, punya banyak koleksi password dan tidak sanggup menghapalnya satu-satu dan setting-setting lain yang tidak mungkin Anda terapkan di komputer orang lain. Dengan memiliki portable apps, seolah-olah komputer orang lain jadi milik Anda seperti layaknya komputer pribadi Anda di rumah. Asyik? Tentu saja... open source.... :)

Apa yang dibutuhkan untuk dapat menjalankan Portable Apps?
