I think you are talking about a different sense of "portable" than the
one used in this thread.  "Portable" here means it can be carried on
an external storage device, and will work when connected to a random
machine.

No I use it with the same meaning as you do. 

My point is that making Emacs compliant with the Windows apps guidelines 

requires to store stuff is specific places, to register things into registry, etc.

Whereas at the moment, none of this is required, hence you can move your

Emacs directory at will.
