Is there a portable version of OneNote available/coming, to use from a USB drive/library.
Where onenote.com webapp is a no-need-to-install option, but doesn't work offline
Solutions I'm thinking of: HTML5 offline app (no GPO's that will stop it), or an app-v/thinapp version
No, we have no plans for a portable version.

As I understand, as Windows XP support was officially dropped, the newest versions of SSL certificates used in certain websites cannot be accessed by Chrome and IE on WinXP due to incompatibility. However, Firefox apparently still does support Windows XP and can access those websites freely.
I don't quite understand how the SSL certificates compatibility works, how is it possible that on Chrome and IE it requires you to switch to a new OS altogether but that's not needed when just using a different browser? Why can't a simple community developer just create a "patch" for Chrome and IE if Firefox can support them? What's the connection between the browser and the OS? Where do I draw the line?
OK, so looking at the example of mpql.net, we start with the SSL Labs analysis.
The problem appears to be that the server only supports elliptic curve cryptography (the various TLS_ECDHE_xxx suites) and, according to the MSDN articles Secure Sockets Layer Protocol and TLS Cipher Suites, Windows XP doesn't include any of the elliptic curve protocols. This is not related to the certificates per se, but to the way the web server is configured.
Firefox still works because it uses its own cryptographic library rather than using the SSL support built into Windows. Of course, if you were using a version of Firefox as old as Windows XP is, it probably wouldn't work either. :-)
Solution for this problem in XP is installing KB3055973-v3 that adds support for TLS 128-bit & 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher suites.
Google for this solution and beware it is natively for English OS version, otherwise you need to modify the installation files.
Note that I installed "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009" before.

Chrome and IE use the CA store of windows while Firefox uses it's own independent store.
Why can't a simple community developer just create a "patch" for Chrome and IE if Firefox can support them?
It might be that some developer can do it, but why should somebody invest its time to support an OS which is dead and insecure just to support browsers which are no longer supported (Chrome will drop support end of 2015). If you feel this needs to be done anyway just do it. Otherwise, drop XP or at least use Firefox with it.
Although I cant say im 100% correct I believe ssl has everything to do with the browser and not much to do with the actual operating system. So I ran into an issue where the very opposite from what you are asking. A client was on a windows 7 machine and needed to access time warner business email through chrome but couldn't because of a SSL issue. The problem was that Chrome dropped support for the older version of SSL and so her options where use IE or Firefox or downgrade and hope chrome doesn't force its self to update. Microsoft is wanting users to upgrade so of course they are not going to keep IE up to date and google isn't going to support an outdated operating system. Firefox is open source so it makes sense that people would keep the browser compatible with as many devices as possible. Hope this helps.
So today, Google announced a desktop app launcher for its Google Drive service: http://googledrive.blogspot.ca/2014/11/launch-desktop-applications-from-google.html.
Any ideas on how they implemented this? I'd like to do the same for a personal project. I know there's a way in node-webkit to do something like this, but if this ever becomes a native capability within Chrome browser...
To quote the announcement:
To get started, install the latest version of the Drive app for Mac or PC (version 1.18) ...
They are using a native app (not a Chrome app) to provide the functionality. As such, they can do whatever they want.
You can replicate this with a Native Host + extension approach.
I have a HTML5 app, that I need to redistribute as a desktop application. One solution could be Chrome packaged apps, but it seems you can only install those packages using the Chrome webstore.
Is there an easy way to distribute Chrome apps using a stand-alone installer, and without requiring the end-user to have Chrome installed?
You can install them using the .crx file given to you while packaging, but that still requires chrome. Actually, you pretty much have to somehow have chrome on the target, as the standalone apps use it's framework. Hope it helps.
The CefView example from the Chromium Embedded Framework project could server for this.
Is it possible to realize few versions of wiki-article (using MediaWiki CMS) — development version and production version and simple way to switch versions?
The FlaggedRevs extension does something similar.
i'm finding some solution to develop the Packaged App (or extension) for Chrome OS(chromium os).the extension will be access serial port to send AT command for SMS or Call function.
first, i find the NPAPI,But it not support in Chrome OS (right?) . So, maybe the PPAPI and Native Client ? if it's the key, i will look deep in them.
please give me some advice . thanks ~
NPAPI is supported by Chrome OS, but there is no way to install it, you can create Chrome extensions that uses NPAPI plugin for windows, linux, mac, but not for Chrome Os. NPAPI plugins must be preinstalled by vendor as I know, so you can't use it. If you want to use native code you need to look to Native client, but as NaCl is sandbox for native code I am not sure you will be able to access low-level hardware within it.
PPAPI only, NPAPI us NOT supported: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/design-documents/aura-desktop-window-manager
