It's also a cross-platform portable executable, so you can use it out of the box on almost any machine with an internet connection. Once you get the hotkey bindings down, it gets very easy to build simple designs. Unfortunately, it can choke on modest levels of complexity, but I most of my work is relatively simple, so Solvespace is a godsend.

Solvespace is like a time traveler from the golden age of software where everything was a 1 MB self-contained EXE.
