What is a Portable App?

What is a Portable App and why do I recommend them?

A portable app by definition is an application that doesn't require integration into an OS to work (standalone). Sounds simple and boring right? Wrong. It is much more than it sounds in the definition. With a portable app you can put on a flash drive and move it from one computer to another. It can be almost anything. Most of the time they are open source. The best part is yet to come. Yes this is clearly the best part. Well here it is: it doesn't require installation. This means that you just download it and use it. It also means that you don't have to wait for it to install and then if you don't like it you don't have to go and uninstall it.
