I'm thankful for running BitWise "Without a Trace"

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the United States! In honor of the American holiday, I wanted to announce something new for the next version of BitWise that we can all be thankful for. :)

After reading again about some new USB drives that allow you to run programs "without a trace" on any computer, I realized it would be pretty easy to allow BitWise to work this way, without even needing to use any of these 3rd party technologies. So, a new option in the BitWise Setup allows you to store your BitWise settings "with the program." Enabling this options will also store any folders relative to the program itself, so you can choose a subfolder without worrying about drive letters changing as you move from one place to another. You can even put multiple OSes on your USB drive and share your preferences! Pretty cool. :)

These changes will be included in BitWise 1.7 Beta 2, which should be released next week.
