I suppose by flash drive you are referring to a USB stick. My answer is "yes and no". It depends on the program so to speak. You would probably have a hard time running a complete office install from a stick. I hesitate to discount it completely, because I have never tried. A single executable file can easily be stored on a stick and executed from the stick. You can even have a program auto-execute when you insert the stick into your computer. I believe there have been security issues in this regard on certain operating systems, and you will probably have to enable this feature in your operating system.
