It depends on what software you're talking about and what you need to do with it. Can you give us specific examples of the programs you need to use?

Some software can be used off of a flash drive, most can't but it's worth looking into.

Another way,install portable platform on a USB drive,and then install your favorites software on the portable platform,carry the data and favorites software with you on the usb drive,the platforms include prayaya v3, ceedo , u3 smart drive ,portableapps

What reasons do you need to be at the office, do you need to be working on a computer they have there, or do you just need to be in the office? If the computer is irrelevant you can use remote desktop software to access your home computer from a terminal at work. You could also consider switching entirely to a laptop that you could bring with you.

If the reason you come in is that you need to use features of the network there (access files, network printing, ect,...) you could use VPN to connect your home system to that network and access the features you need remotely.

The third option is that you could use remote desktop to log into your work computer from home. This way you can do all your work on it from home, and when you go into the office it's there.

Give us some more specific info about what you need to take with you, and why you need to go into the office. I'm sure we can come up with a solution for you.

use firefox and either eave or foxymarks to synch your bookmarks. use vnc and hamachi.

Ask your company to buy you a laptop to use - that way you can work from anywhere and the software / data / settings will always be available.

IMO, you should buy a laptop and install all needed software on it... Bring it with you when you go to company...

I do this too. I have a laptop that I take back and forth and a workstation in the office that I sometimes VNC into. The way my company's policies (Novell) work is that an app is part of my profile. Any PC I log into, my required apps are pushed down.
