Microsoft will make something resembling portable software but their product would be as tightly nested in the host PC as Explorer is into Windows. One possible solution they (the company) could try is having an 'installed' copy linked to the USB ID that each USB drive has, although I must admit there are Flash Drives around where you can CHANGE this ID by special software.Īltogether there are many problems for proprietary software to make truely portable software of their products without making it too easy for people to start copying their products for free. This would, as you can imagine, surely kill their business model. Also it might be a bit too easy to actually have illegal copies go wander around by non paying customers. A (truly) portable application could easily be copied and used twice, while the companies much rather have people shelling out another xxx bucks for a license. The biggest hurdle might be (again) the legal issues. Although you most likely get a no as an answer (knowing the tight legal space they operate in) it at least give the folks at Adobe a pointer that an official portable PhotoShop would be greatly appreciated by their (paying) customers. Although legal issues prohibit us from providing you a portable version of PhotoShop, you might want to send Adobe an email requesting a PortableApps compatible version.
