An IBM project called SoulPad looks interesting - it is the natural extension of emulators and virtual machines that lets a user suspend his (or her) current desktop session (or "soul", as IBM's researchers dubbed it) while working, store the "soul" on some portable device, then restore the "soul" on a different pc, which can have a completely different hardware setup, OS, etc.
