Portable Word? for flash drives? legit?

Hi All,
Is this a regular Microsoft product? The whole program on a flash drive for use "wherever you are?" Is it legit?

Sure! I understand that Santa Claus uses it to make his list and check it
twice! ;-P

I've never heard of it. Have you check the 'Office Products' section of the
MSFT website? If it's not listed there (and I don't believe it is - but it's
a BIG site and I may have missed something), then it's probably not a real
product.

Are you sure you are not confusing this with Open Office.org software? Open
Office.org's software consists of a word processor, spreadsheet, a
presentation application and more which is available in a portable version
that you can put on a thumb drive. It is compatible with MS applications and
it is free! If you don't currently have one of the MS Office suites, it might
be worth looking at.

There is a version of Word (Pocket Word, I believe it's called) for Windows
Mobile devices.
