Applications for PortableApps
By far the best virtual/portable app software you can find is called PortableApps. You install PortableApps on your USB Key and you can download and create you own start menu like a word proccesor. There are thousands of apps that you can add from as complex as Word Proccesors to simple games, all 100% freeware. This alone serves as a great tool to have handy on the go anywhere.

Virtual Desktop
There are many open source applications that are just amazing, one of them is VirtuaWin. With VirtuaWin you can run up to 9 desktops at a time on your machine, the software is also portable so you can run it by just sticking in a USB key. For more information visit the authors website here.

Virtual OS
Want to run an entire OS from your USB Key? Take your email, documents, bookmarks, and everything on a device that can fit into your hand and run on any computer? Virtual Box does just that, install your favorite Linux version and setup how you like your image and away you go. For more information visit the authors website here.

There are many other neat ideas that people are working on that most people don't even know exist, laser keyboards, mouses that follow your eyes for a touchless mouse, and so much more. Start looking around out there and find out how big this world really is.
