never had one in my pocket. But what I heard is bad: it leaves plenty of stuff in the registry and you need house cleaning when removing u3.
On top of this, it's proprietary and not opensource. At least, with 7-zip sfx, it's clean by construction: when you close gvim, unless the process was killed uncleanly, the temporary extracted version will clean itself and disappear.

I saw the entire thread so far, and while there are lots of possible solutions, wouldn't it just be easier to get a U3 flash-thingy, that's supposed to do exactly this? http://www.u3.com/ I don't have a U3 flash-thingy nor have I ever used one (no need as yet), but this is supposed to be what U3 is all about, ie, to let you install whole apps on a flash-thingy and transport them all from machine to machine wherever you go.
