One of my favorite "applications" is Portable Apps, which lets you run a whole lot of software (much mentioned in the original article) from a Portable USB "thumb drive" without having to install it on the PC. This can also be a great way to try out new software without the worry of it leaving all kinds of crap on your machine.
