I've got my portable MS Office

Jun 28, 2010 1:00PM PDT

My name is Murray Reeves; I work for a consulting agency. I usually travel to different places to carry out some projects, and deal with a lot of documents and data. So I have to carry my Laptop everyday during my business trips. The most commonly used software is Microsoft Office.

But I found there were many problems came out during the process of dealing with some documents and data, such as the electricity is the internet access is not available for my laptop. For this, I usually go to other?s computer near by, for another example, I will go to my friends to deal with some documents which are required by costumers temporary. But the version of the Microsoft Office in their computer was different from mine, or some computers even do not have Microsoft Office installed.. So I can not do anything towards with my Word and Excel files..

These situations happened frequently, that was very inconvenient for my working life. It has plagued me for a long time. So I usually think of one thing which could not only carry all my documents, but also carry the necessarily computer programs in it to help me deal with this problem.

Once I met one of my clients who also usually go on business trip. For his kindness, he recommended Prayaya V3 to me; he said V3 can carry all of his data, documents, and computer programs into a removable storage device. So he usually goes out without computer, and only carries a small removable hard disk. I doubted about it at first, because I thought that was impossible. But considering all the troubles I had, I decided to have a try on V3.

I downloaded V3 firstly. I found that it was a Virtual Microsoft Windows Operating System with a size of only 6 MB; then installed it on my personal storage device. Now Microsoft Office 2003 has been installed into my V3-enabled USB storage device now.

I also attempted to install my other habitual programs such as MSN, FileZilla, and Firefox in it, all of them run well.

What excites me is that I can connect my V3-enabled USB storage device to the USB port of any Windows PC anywhere. I won?t worry about my office data dealing any longer. No matter on trip or at friends?, I can easy to deal with my work; no trace of my work is left behind on the host PC.It?s as if I never left home.

It is fortunately for me to meet such a meaningful software.

Now my daily digital life is:
Plug V3-enabled USB storage device in any computer-->Run V3-->One key switch from host windows to V3 Windows-->Do everything I love to do and everything personal.

That?s all of my experience sharing.

Good luck.

install directly?
Jun 28, 2010 1:28PM PDT

I wonder if there is any version limited requirement to the software that installed in Prayaya V3 or ceedo or portableapps?

I meant should I download my necessary software from its official website and install to either of these directly?

Give yourself time to absorb all this.

Your question is a good one but what I might expect if the user is new. Give yourself time to experiment with this.

Prayaya V3

I agree with you on the usefulness of this program! One way to make you USB even more useful is to make it your own portable PC! After searching forever to find portable programs, I stumbled upon Prayaya V3. I know its not free, but for me, its completely worth it! I tried this program out after learning about MojoPac and I have to say that it is way better. I think that it is faster and you can do a lot more with it, especially because it is not limited to just Windows XP. It can run on XP/Vista/7 flawlessly. Because I travel a lot, I am constantly on the go and because pretty much every place that I've been uses Windows, I am always concerned about security, especially because I usually cant restart public computers and boot my own Linux distro. With Prayaya, this eliminates most of the problems. Not only is it secure, its super easy. im glad i found your article because its good to know that this program is getting some good attention.
