John Haller has hacked OpenOffice to run directly from a removable media or flash drive, without installing anything on the host computer. He calls his clever project “Portable OpenOffice.org” (and he has done the same thing with Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and NVU).

This is a great example of how open source allows for innovation at the margins. Great work, John!
