First off we have Pure Portable Pleasure, our collection of super portable apps for Windows. You can do just about anything with PPP. You can add your own choice of apps to your own set up of PPP - see below Next in our suites is the Cube Development Kit (CDK) a suite of apps designed for game development with the cube engine. This is windows only at this stage, but most of the apps are cross platform, so a suite for the Mac or Linux could be put together. All you need is this and a cube game and you have all the tools you need to produce a game, and it all fits on and runs from a USB. We also have a list of
some of the best portable apps, all neatly organized - see

Some portable apps I use, but didn't get included in PPP7 |
|
| CodeBlocks | C development environment. X Platform. Highly recommended, but comes in at around 100 MB (including the Ming compiler) , so I didn't include it, it is in the CDK though. |
| PureBasic | Not freeware, but cheap. Fast too. X Platform. Highly recommended. Demo version available. I thought about including the demo version, but didn't. The launcher, Corvette-TL is a Purebasic App. |
| Paintshop Pro | Shareware. Version 7 can be made to run OK as a portable. |
| Country Codes | Freeware list of country codes is an invaluable resource. The Country Codes app provides all the information you’ll need with maps, ISO numbers, IDDD country codes, and even the current time. |
| Pocket PC Wikipedia | The Pocket PC version includes an app to run on Windows and on Linux, so you can use it on your PC. Less than 200MB and has a search. |

Some popular apps that others use or recommend but missed out this version |
|
| AbiWord Portable. | Only 14 MB. Good OS word processor. |
| Sunbird Agenda | a popular organizer which was replaced in PPP with the much smaller Chaos Manager |
| Firefox Portable | I replaced the popular but slow and buggy Firefox with QTWeb, which is much smaller and faster. |
| Star Dictionary | TheSage replaces StarDictionary (better) |
| Media Players | Both VLC media player. and Zoom Media Player are good players but were simply not needed |
| Soflege | This music tuition tool was a bit unreliable and also large |
| Deep Burn | Popular burning utility was simply not needed |
| RockXP | This microsoft key finder was identified as malware by antiviral because it uses many of the same algorithms as malware, so I removed it. |
| FreeCAD | Removed just to save space. |
| LeoCAD | Lego CAD. Wow! |
| Thunderbird | excellent email client that I don't |
