Dan,
I have two laptops that I use for all my sales activity, and I regularly
move demo apps from one to the other - no problems as long as there
is no platform-specific code in there.  That's not the same as a real app,
I know.

The base install of Open M 7 is quite large.
But if you're talking about Visual-M client/server, ALL my customers are
running thin client these days, so the footprint on the PC is very small
indeed.
Thick client is a convenient environment for development (on airplanes,
for example, as I do !), but for deployment, thin client is much easier
to manage
