MojoPac Freedom Provides Free Virtual PC Portability

Updated: 10/3/2007

Every so often, a utility comes along that makes sense. RingCube Technologies' nifty MojoPac Freedom is one such utility--it provides a virtual PC on any USB drive, so you tote around your operating system environment, including files and applications, and then remove it from a host PC leaving no trace of your presence.

The MojoPac Freedom software is a freeware version of the software RingCube makes a living from selling to business; you can grab the software from our Downloads section. The catch: This free version of MojoPac will eventually collect user information on what RingCube describes as an "aggregate basis that we may use to target promotions." (UPDATE 10/3/2007: RingCube's CEO Shan Appajodu called today to clarify that any aggregate usage data would only be used to better the product and its services. "We will not collect any user-specific information," promises Appajodu.) Right now, the company says it isn't collecting any information; the fact that they may collect information in the future is in the user agreement.

At least, Srihari Kumar, vice president of business development, told me the company will inform user when it starts collecting such data. So if the idea of unspecified (for now) aggregated data being collected bothers you, it shouldn't keep you from at least giving the software a go today. Just beware that things may change weeks or months from today.
