Ok, here's my plug for open source. I work on perhaps 50 pcs a week at various client sites. Without my own personal laptop, I need a secure channel to check e-mail or keep in touch with the office. I also don't want to store my cookies or internet history on a client's pc, so I use Portable Firefox and Portable Gaim. Both run off a USB thumb drive. Neither require an installation, which is fantastic! :)

They also have portable openoffice.org, portable gimp, and portable ClamAV.
