The Settings is probably one of the main things that is NOT a direct copy compatible.

Portable is self contained and the Library is in a set location.

You can use Portable to access any Library elsewhere, IT JUST WON'T REMEMBER.

I am also not sure if Portable has the Content Server. (Many public computer operators may not be happy if you started a server on their network)
