As an open source software, XMind is not only a cross platform software, but also has a real portable version. Cross platform software means that you can use XMind at any platforms, such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Usually, we may not be allowed to install software on working computer in company. Sometimes, we have to work on a colleague's or friend's computer which may not install XMind. So there is XMind Portable. Cross + Portable will let you really map your mind everywhere and easily.

1> Select that topic;
2> Select "Tool > Search..." on menu to se…
