Mark,

It's been a while since you posted this article. Ceedo has changed a lot since then. Before I go into that, though, I'd like to point out an error that you made in your article. You said "Once installed, Ceedo can be configured to launch when Windows starts."

Ceedo is installed on a USB flash drive or external hard drive and can be configured to launch when the Ceedo drive is connected to the host. Even if the drive is connected to the host when the PC is turned on, the only way to launch Ceedo at Windows starts is to place a Ceedo shortcut in the startup folder. This would cause an issue of a non-present application attempting to launch if the drive is not connected when Windows starts, which will normally be the case as the object of Ceedo is to make your applications portable instead of having them tied to one PC.

As I mentioned, Ceedo has changed a lot since you posted your article. For example, Argo (used to be called Install Anything), which is the Ceedo application installer now allows the installation of applications using .msi installers. .msi Support is steadily improving.

MS Office is now supported in Ceedo, as are a ton of other regular unmodified Windows-based applications.

Ceedo and Argo are downloaded separately, but purchasing a license for Ceedo will get you a two-for-one deal in that a license for Argo is automatically provided when you purchase a Ceedo license. The cost for both is now $39.00, which is down from $50.00.

In addition to this, the Ceedo team have pruned their Programs Directory to remove the "not-so-useful" applications, and have kept only the good stuff.

I'd recommend Ceedo to anybody. I don't have any software installed on my home PC any more. It's all installed on my 120 gig Seagate FreeAgent Go Ceedo drive, and goes where I do.
