Default microsoft office 2007 portable usb edition

Is there a legitimate office 2007 version that can run off a USB device that
I can purchase. I do development in Excel 2002 - but I now need to support
Excel 2007. My company is thinking of getting a second computer with Office
2007 on it - but I was wondering if I could use the same machine with a USB
version of Office.
Doing a quick Goggle search showed a lot of pirated versions available
(which I don't want) so I was curious if there was a official licensed
version I could get but I cannot seem to find any information on it which
leads me to believe it doesn't exist.

Thanks

No
Office has to be installed on the actual PC

To continue DL's comments: The installation program for Office installs
things into the computer's operating system registry so that even if the
program could be (and it can't because of it's design and safeguards)
installed onto a USB drive it would not be transportable between different
computers.
