Not allowed to install software on the company CPU? No worries, Portable Firefox has you covered. Pop your USB drive into the machine, and away you go! No footprint, no hassle. You can run it off your ZIP drive if you're really old school. There's even a version of FF Live that'll run off the lowly and ubiquitous CD-ROM. That's read only.So you've got your thumb drive or flash drive or whatever the kids are calling it, and you can surf the web. In fact, portable FF works with many extensions. Imagine all the services of the web on a stick.
But the party isn't over. Using Portable Thunderbird you can get POP mail on your drive. Portable Sunbird and you have a really rough beta calendar app (whoop-di-doo!). But then there's Portable NVU and Portable OpenOffice for content creation. Now if there was only a Portable Cinelerra.

Please note that this is currently a windows-only package, and so should not be filed under OS X etc.
Cheers :)

I've been doing this for a month now. I also keep Audacity, Picasa and the Flickr Uploadr on it as well. It's a champ.
