We all have our own choice when it comes to softwares. Different persons feel comfortable using different softwares for the same purpose. But we don't have our favorite softwares around us for using all the time. For example, if you are in a friend's house or on a PC of a other, most probably you wont get to use your favorite softwares on that PC because they have those installed. And it's very time consuming and tiresome to download and install them from the internet.

Or suppose, you have an older version of a software and want to test drive the latest version of it but don't want to ruin the old installation neither replace it. Now what do you do?
