Hi :) From the "Portable Apps" http://portableapps.com/ http://portableapps.com/about/what_is_a_portable_app
"A portable app works from any device (..., cloud drive, ..., etc)" but i've never heard from anyone who has tried installing their portable apps to a Cloud. Each Chromebook links to it's own Cloud space doesn't it? Note there are a few caveats http://portableapps.com/support/libreoffice_portable#additional_options Also i suspect that the WinPenPack probably offers a similar option but they don't go on about it as much. The advantage with WinPenPack is that they tend to get each release of LibreOffice out there quickly and they don't skip any releases. Wrt Chromium, my understand was that Chrome was the OS and Chromium was the web-browser but apparently it's not quite as simple as that; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29 Regards from Tom :) On 18 April 2014 22:14, Kracked_P_P---webmaster <[email protected]>wrote: > > Yes, it is not a Chrome list, but as the OP, I wondered about Chrome and > LO and it seems like that will not happen in the foreseeable future.
