Be careful what jokes you say, some could come true.

Linspire is so Windows it's almost not Linux.

ACDSee
Photoshop

Total Commander among other nice softies.
It also would be nice if Windows was transformed to Linux.

Resistance is futile !

i think there's no sense in porting programs that already have similiar linux programs with the same purpose with the same or even better funcionality

total commander -> krusader
acdsee -> kuickshow

I think the biggie for me is Flash. I'd happily purchase it for Linux and it was the main thing that stopped me from using Linux for so long, as I use Flash a lot at uni.

I'd also like to see Avid ported too. I just don't think linux is a feasible switch for most companies while the manufacurers of the leading industry standard products refuse to produce linux versions and I applaud those that do.

i use atomix virtual dj er'day...so if they would port it overi would be a very happy camper.....even if i could get it to work right now, with either wine or cedega..without installing windows of course

Well, I would really like to see Microsoft Image Composer and gif animater I can't stand their software but these 2 I almost cannot live without. No time to learn a new program. Now I'm tired of running an extra machine (with windows) just to have them.

You could just run windows in vmware.

anandt4u · 06-02-2005, 12:34 PM

Visual studio.Net IDE and Sql server 2005...anyone call help me??

theMagus · 06-03-2005, 02:17 AM

I would like to see WhereIsit ported. This is a media catalogging program for Windows only.

Dont come here and mention Krusader ? Grrr it is not by FAR the same as Total Commander. Grrr

I know I dialed into the wayback machine by replying to this one, but seriously: Try Quanta+ out now. 3.4 is very, very nice and if you subscribe to the mailing list you'll learn a lot about what the core developers have planned for 4.0.

Microsoft, be afraid. Adobe/Macromedia, Be Afraid.

Form Flow aka Adobe Capture
I have to use it for many forms in DoD and unfortunately it's only available for Windows. A Linux port would completely free me from the MS anchor.
