I haven't tried MojoPack, but I did try Ceedo: even though it's "ok", it still doesn't work for me: any program that requires a debugger (such as Visual Studio or Delphi) can't be properly installed/ran from the ceedo drive. And that goes for "easier" stuff such as Java. My two weeks experience with Ceedo has been "so-so", missing a few of the applications I use, and since I can use an admin account on the machines I need to run stuff in, I'll give MojoPac a try: if I can also have my dev environment on it, then I'm sold for it!

Joseph doesn't really say anything much about any of the four applications he "discusses" here.

I don't have much experience with PortableApps, and none at all with MijoSync, so I can't comment on them. I can, however, say that Mojopac is slow, doesn't work with Vista (the last time I bothered wasting my time on Mojopac, that is), and doesn't run without admin privileges without installing a secondary application that requires admin privileges to install. In other words, Mojopac in my opinion is a complete waste of time and effort. Joseph seems to be somewhat more in favor of Mojopac over the other apps he mentions in his "article," though.

Ceedo on the other hand runs in Win2K, XP and Vista without the need for admin privileges.

In addition to running in the three operating systems mentioned above with no need for admin privileges, Ceedo also has great application support. I've installed a ton of apps in Ceedo with no problems at all, and the few applications I couldn't get to work are not apps that I would use on a daily basis anyway.

The one thing that is to Ceedo's disadvantage is the complete lack of .NET support. Given that Ceedo is improving on an ongoing basis, I would hope that .NET support isn't too far away. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Ceedo also has an online applications repository that has over a hundred useful applications in it. It would seem that they are taking pains to keep the apps in their repository in the "useful" category and keep out apps that are a waste of time and space.

Hi,
Its interesting.I too come across this Mojopac.It is a technology that transforms your iPod or USB Hard Drive or Flash drive into a portable and private PC. Set up your "PC on a stick" with portable software MojoPac, a standalone Windows installation that runs directly from a flash drive or iPod.we can surf with our preferred browser, store our passwords and other sensitive data separate from an untrusted host PC.It does a fairly good job sharing resources between the host machine and the guest session.Thanks for sharing with us.

Cool. I'll be able to have a operating system on my 1,8" drive from now on.

I was talking about this subject with one of my friend these days, about whether was or not possible to get a working OS on and USB drive and none of us knew to much about it. But it seems you can. So, I'm going to give it a try. Hopefully i can run Photoshop and Macromedia with this program too.

Good one really, but how did they manage with drivers and other device dependent stuff...

This is really cool. Whenever I'm travelling I'm alwasy wishing I had certain programs, etc on my laptop or another computer I'm using. This may work. Have you tried the Thumb drives yet? I may have to look into getting one.

True- getting a free lunch is a pipe dream. Im always prepared to spend when I want quality.

Thanks for pointing out Ceedo's other features; looks like I missed those bits

Opps, you missed some really important things. I have looked at all these solutions and Ceedo is my choice.
Mojopac does not allow you to go to Vista - Ceedo does.
Mojopac does not work on public PCs - Ceedo does.
College capus PC and locked-down corporate PCs are open with Ceedo - Mojopac does nothing for these.
Mojopac does not allow you to use resorces of the hostPC - Ceedo does.

Mojopac is Ceedo 4 years ago.

Whoever said, "You can't get something for nothing", was really on to something.

Migo is cute, but it makes your data portable - not your apps. What good is that in the year 2007.

Wow, I knew these types of programs were on the horizon, but didn't know that they were already being released to the public. Mojopac looks absolutely awesome.
