It's unfortunate that licensing concerns and such make it impossible
for Microsoft to provide a portable version of Office, or any of its
components. You might check www.portableapps.com to find out if there
are any hacks/cracks/tweaks/etc. that will let you put Office apps on
a portable drive, but I doubt it. The closest you will be able to
come will be to either make a bootable USB drive and boot up the other
computer from that system (not usually possible on public systems, for
obvious reasons) or to use alternative software such as OpenOffice and
EverNote.
I'd love for there to be an online version of OneNote which can sync
with my existing data, but that's probably a ways off.

Hi Steve,
possibly good news from my side.
Licenses are one thing. AFAICS one would have to investigate this topic
with MS. And IMO there should be no problems f.e. with the "Home &
Student" editions coming with 3 licenses.
Fortunately your doubts are wrong. The site is not the best place to
NO.
*Technically* it's possible to work with a *mobile* OneNote - be it from
a stick or a portable HDD.
I tested working with Ceedo[1] (there is a 30-days trial but I bought it
meanwhile) and reported in here several times.
Using its Argo installer add-on one can install OneNote in a stick or a
HDD.
It's a bit slow in the stick I used (too slow on an SD card which I
tried too) but using a super-fast stick (will have to check for the
fastest models available) it should be a workable solution.
For me there is no doubt that it will work pretty fine from a portable
HDD. The 2.5" external disks have become that small that they are really
portable.
The good thing is that ON installed in an external device keeps al of
it's data on the external medium and will work from there when connected
to a computer which does not have ON installed. When connected to a
computer having ON installed (your machine at home, f.e.) it works from
the computer at normal speed.
I have several programs running from a stick with Ceedo meanwhile , f.e.
PowerPoint Viewer for running the presentations for my lectures; I could
install install additional fonts used in the presentations and not not
available on each computer and I am machine-independent in so far.
Another great thing with Ceedo: Using IE fro browsing will not leave any
trace of your doing in the computer because Ceedo works as a "virtual
machine" and keeps all temporary files etc. locally in the stick.
That's a totally different issue.
I for one do not like the new direction if "Live"-applications.
But there are several ways to use one of the online-storage services and
stored the notebooks there.
I myself have not used that so far. But it seems to work as has been
reported here several times. Perhaps you might enter this group via
Google groups and search around.
