Auto-launch your USB workspace

Do you carry all of your essential apps with you on a keychain USB drive? Wouldn't it be nice if you could pop your drive into a USB port and launch all of those apps with the click of a button? Lucky for you, Lifehacker is running a great tutorial called Quicklaunch your USB workspace. It's a quick and easy guide that will show you how to set up Autorun and a batch file on your flash drive to make it do your bidding as soon as you plug it in. It's Windows-centric, though--any tips from the Mac or Linux nomads out there?
