   Why so negative? Of course there is a reason for the wisht to run it on a   
   USB drive and I'm sure that one realize the stability issues.   
      
   Besides, I don't know about your working environment, but in my office I   
   seldom have some "smart-a**" coming up to my PC while I work and pull out my   
   USB-devices! In fact, it hasn't happened yet! :-)   
      
   For example demo purpose I can see that having your app on a USB-stick could   
   be very handy.
