The PortableApps Platform has been updated (a few times) since this was last updated.
I believe the current version is 11.2 (also there is a version 12 beta, I think its Beta 2)

Please update this listing!

Latest version (v15.0) now supports .NET programs, the first of which appears to be KeePass Professional (or 2.x).

It's not clear to me what this actually does or why I would need it. Is it just a replacement for Windows Explorer?

Roger,

it's like changing your whole desktop. see the bar at the top. it's your taskbar.

some people like changing their operating system themes.

portable? yes; runs on top of explorer. some systray icons disappear, but the programs still running. go for the ultimate in security: create a profile in every pc you use that requires you have the USB stick inserted or else no shell can load.

Personally I like the "HFS" portable web server except that HFS doesn't support php.

The download link (to official website) is broken; the official site download page seems to have been deactivated.

I found this page with a working download:
