Also it can´t give you the same trust a closed source. I have read the source code of some open source apps, and more important, I trust the comunity of developers who check them and yes it gives more trust and transparency. Anyway, beside that I think Liberkey is a very good contribution to the portable world, and no, I don´t think neither their closed source is crapware.

I have actually done quite a large research but while most of the apps that are included in the list are known, there are as well surprises. Currently I´have use as sources (besides my own searches): http://portableapps.com/ http://www.portablefreeware.com/ http://www.pendriveapps.com/ the suites, like liberkey, lupepensuite, winpenpack, winizio as well as other collection like the stated above, and finally worth mentioning the techsupportalert-gizmo selection of portable apps. In my stick I got 200+ apps but they are strictly selected. PD: can you make a list with directory lister? Cheers Can you share your list of apps?

I took three days to load almost 250 apps on one of my 4GB USB keys. But I've got a lot more than this list, including the full OpenOffice. I've got pretty much everything on this list, minus a few password viewers and the like, but I've got a lot more from my collection of over a thousand utilities. But this is a good way to go for people who don't want to take the time to manually build an "all-in-one" utility key. Next step for me is to put UBCD4Win on a key, plus a Linux distro, plus a Linux security distro. Those, plus my "reference" key with tons of ebooks, plus my "standard installs" key, will keep me prepared for anything I run across in doing tech support.

Actually, what's illegal in turning free apps into portable ? I like the way Liberkey apps can be updated. Much more easier than Portableapps for instance.. @jgh : First time i hear about that..

I do not use Liberkey, but not because some morons are saying that they are bad. Did you ever read the source code of any open source apps? Or you trust the world “open”? Does it make you feel better? I also use Cody with their apps. http://codyssey.com/products/codysafe.html

Don't use liberkey. Most of the apps in there are included illegally and they've stolen code from portableapps.com many times in the past and then lied about it. Who knows what other nasty things lie in their closed source crapware. Ugh, Franck. Don’t use liberkey.
