well, not really. the last time i check, it was very limited.

you can use the usb flash drives to store stuff like media, pictures, etc... but to directly run programs off of it.. its not a good way.

it is possible, but only limited programs exists that allow the runnning of programs on a usb flash drive. for example like some IM clients, browsers, some music programs, etc.. for a listing of those, you might have to google around.

you can probably install openoffice, winamp for music, trillian... they will most likely require some tweaking for it to work properly. if interested, let me/us know.

adobe, i highly doubt it because its a huge program and for it to be running on a flash drive will probably effect the speed and usability of it.
