In this case the "play anywhere" means you carry it with you
wherever you go on your USB Flash drive.
For us Rev folks the concept of portability may seem odd, since Rev
apps are often self-contained anyway.
But remember that a lot of Windows apps made with other tools
require a small army of DLLs strewn all over the hard drive and a
bunch of Registry entries to run.
A "portable app" in this context is one which is simply
self-contained, able to run entirely from a USB Flash drive leaving
zero footprint on the system it's run on. Preferences, data files,
and the app itself are all stored on the removable drive.
And with Rev we can add a level of "play anywhere" most folks
claiming to deliver "portable apps" can't: we can put Win, Mac, and
even Linux executables on the drive, sharing a common data folder
there, so the user can pop the USB device into nearly any computer
on the planet and be able to run your app.
