In theory, this is possible but probably not recommended. The application would have to be completely self-contained. For a Windows system, this will be difficult since most programs require a local setup procedure in which the registry is modified, files that it needs are installed locally, etc.

It's more likely to work on a Mac or Linux setup, but again, files may be required locally for the applications to work. In addition, the program might run more slowly than it would locally.

All in all, I don't think this is the intended use for Pogoplug but with the Drive software, it's possible in theory. Why don't you give it a shot and let the community know how your experience went?

I personally wouldn't recommend it, cause, even if it does work, it will probably run really slow. Remember, you'd be running the program remotely through your network.
