I'd like mto see sa port of Safari because use it on both the max os and windows paltforms and it has the potentail to overtake Internet Explore in market share because of it's rocklk solid development and deployment cycle.
linux-hawk, work on your spelling, alot. Also I don't see why working on mac and windows platforms would make a difference because Firefox and Opera work on Mac and Windows as well. I don't see how Safari has any more potential then Firefox or Opera
i cant vmware due to minimal resources so if someone comes up with something as stable and efficent as utorrent and something as amazing as srs labs sandbox, ill kiss my windows partition goodbye.

Deluge is probably what you want, you can also run utorrent in wine pretty good

I would like to see better versions of flash in Linux. That way, fox news videos, yahoo music videos and cnn videos would all work with Linux. For whatever reason, they don't with Fedora 8.

Personally, I used to run Azureus. These days I have a dedicated server running a PHP bit-torrent client (TorrentVolve) which I can remotely connect from home or work via the usual HTTP port.

Flash
For some reasons, flash is just touch and go with Linux. As are some other applications. Fox News Video and music.yahoo.com work with Mepis but not Fedora 7 or 8. Youtube always works. Daily motion can use Firefox download helper successfully but not play with Fedora 8. It works just fine with Mepis. On the other hand, Kaffeine works better in Fedora 8 then under Mepis and Mplayer works great with a terminal under Fedora 8 while under Mepis it makes no difference. Also, some of these sites tell me to install the latest version of Flash even though I already have done so.
The firefox extension download helper works great. Once you download stuff, it nearly always works.
Go figure...
I would like to see a good streaming video program ported to Linux that plays anything, even region free movies all in one application. Mplayer, however, does come real close.
