That would in effect have users downloading an entire set of modules from the net each and every time that user wishes. They are quite big. The download for OpenOffice.org Portable (which is what you would need to run locally without worrying about dependencies) on Windows is a 92MB download using over 230MB when installed. Also, the target audience seems limited to Windows relics. FOSS distros, like the Linuxes, have one-click installation of OOo and probably have it already installed by default. Mac users have it almost as easy. First, I'm not sure we should be wasting resources that make it harder for Windows sites to get off the net. Second, with most countries giving at least lip service to 'cybersecurity' and 'cyberwarfare', the big, scary first step is to ban Windows and other products from that same company. The weaknesses of net-based applications have not changed just because it's now called Clown^H^Hud Computing. ;) Portable Apps mostly fill the gap that would be met by network apps. We can very easily highlight the availability and use of those. They even make for great swag, fitting nicely on a very cheap USB stick.
