    Some of these are handy. The onscreen keyboard is more secure than a hardware one (it bypasses possible hardware keyloggers), and could be handy when all you have is a foreign keyboard layout. However, I find where portable apps generally fall down, is that they are most useful when using a public computer (ie. in a internet cafe or in an office), and these computers tend to be locked down somewhat. Even if you can run the software on you portable storage, you are unlikely to be able to use it to connect to the internet through the firewall. I think generally, on-line apps (like Googledocs) are more reliable and useful, albeit more restricted and less powerful.

    Not sure about most of these so called "must haves" but Firefox portable may be of use

    From the page: "all the more important as keyloggers cannot track the keys being clicked on the on-screen keyboard." I know little about how popular keyloggers are built but I bet it would not be that hard to have a keylogger get the keys from an onscreen keyboard.

    How is a friggin' onscreen-keyboard a must have? I only used this ONCE in all those years and that was just because I was cleaning my keyboard and couldn't quite remember where some keys went..

    The "Must have" branding is annoying, but there are some truly useful tools here.
