[OLD THREAD ALERT]

Hi,

I'm sure there are numerous typing programs released since the last comments in this thread. In the effort to improve my terrible typing skills, I recently found TIPP10.

http://www.tipp10.com/en/index/ :
TIPP10 is a free touch typing tutor for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The ingenious thing about the software is its intelligence feature. Characters that are mistyped are repeated more frequently. Beginners will find their way around right away so they can start practicing without a hitch.
 
Useful support functions and an extensive progress tracker, topical lessons and the ability to create your own practice lessons make learning to type easy.

Note a portable Windows version is also available.

Since we're posting in really old threads, I can say I know of (but haven't really used) TypeFaster Typing Tutor. Though I think it's really just called TypeFaster.

PortableApps.com even has it (and TIPP10, mentioned above by sajman99) available as a portable app.
