I think Mac's angling that way.

Lorance's GPS mapping software.

Also, some games and other software has undocumented Linux ports on the factory CD, UT2003 (and likely UT2004) is one example. I would bet that Sims 2 has one as well.

I would like to see Ebay's Turbo lister, and Stamps.com's shipping program ported. Although you can use Pay Pal's shipping service instead of Stamps.com's, the ease of it's use on my "never again windows machine" is a little missed, also the Stamps has a connection for USB scales that make it so fast if your putting postage on a bunch of items.

I`m not new for linux on Mandriva but I like to see a software you download on your harddrive and tells you where you like to install them and tell them where you like to install the software.
When you open the menue and look where you installed that special software and open it it should work instandly.
That will be nice.

Ohhh in kde 3.X or the newest one should have in tools should have a upgrade file when you click onit should automatic upgrade your old kde to new kde how about that

Tnx ciao

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign would be nice and Microstation made by Bentley (which was running on CLIX in the old days)
Adobe makes it for M$windows and Mac so why should they discrimenate Linux users?
I hope a lot of companies will switch from M$ to Linux the coming years (more stable an cheaper OS than M$).
If the software I called above is running on Linux then there is hardley any reason to use M$ for my company.
So I pray that in 2008 there will be more Linux PC's then Mickeysoft PC's.

Second Life

I used to play Second Life before Windows XP Service Pack 2 drove me to Linux. It is an mmorg world, where you can buy land, make/buy/sell vehicles, weapons, clothes, characters, scripts, buildings, land, etc. The sandbox there was especially fun. People would knock each other off world with their weapons that had specially hacked scripts attached to them.

I miss Second Life.

Perhaps there is a way to run it in Wine.

I also miss "There". There was nice, neat, fun, but not as configurable or free, and everything cost money (actual money). In Second Life, only the land cost actual money. Everything else could be traded in world with in world money.

I worked as a developer for Microstation using their MDL language. A great CAD & Modeler system. Still have it on my M$ system. Might give them a call if anybody I know is still there.

Iv said this more then once, When Windows Vista (codenamed LongHorn) Computer prices with skyrocket, and thuse Companies like Dell will look for a OS to make cheaper computers on. That is where linux will come in. Since the average person buys the cheaper modles they will get linux. Unless they dont want to learn how to use it
