The user-centric computing system may also include a software management program configured to select the user programs, applications, data and settings to be stored on the MSD from the user programs, applications, data, and settings installed on a user's PC and to interface with the client PC. A method of providing mobility to a user PC by selecting programs installed on the user PC and storing the selected programs on an MSD and interfacing the MSD with a client PC is also provided.
