Like previous versions we’ve covered, it’s an especially good way to get a bushel of choice open source applications onto a USB thumb drive or portable computer in one download. Then you can use them on any computer, anywhere. The new version 1.5 of the suite has a new, much better-looking theme, and good security features. You can also launch applications as an administrator, and keep application icons out of menus–great if you carry your open source applications in your pocket. MacLibre offers a similar download for Mac users, and PenDriveLinux is an equivalent for the Linux crowd. Check out more on the new PortableApps version here.  [...]

1. It would be real handy to be able to add/delete/change the folders and folder icons on the right hand side. I have a specific folder that I use quite a bit on my thumb drive, and it would be nice if I could add that to the list of folders.

2. Set overall menu height would be nice to either show all icons without scrolling or shorten to take out white space.

3. Skinning would be nice.
