Hi,
Yes, it is interesting, and I can see the convenience of having all your own stuff to carry about.
I notice that they have used the "portable" versions of the apps they include. This is good, in that it obviously is intended to get rid of some of the bloatware elements, but, more importantly, it means that the software is legitimately licenced for portable use.
If you look at the TOS for Microsoft products it would possibly fall outside of them? The whole concept does raise some interesting legal/licencing issues for the IT Industry?
Like a lot of the old licences say: "for installation on a single computer 1-2 processors" or something like that?
Now, If I put stuff on a medium and run it, then I haven't actually installed it? also, I am starting to see apps where you can "install on one portable device"
Did you hear the one about the Corporate Intellectual Property Lawyer who jumped into the crocodile pit at London Zoo?............... he ate three of them before keepers managed to shoot him
