As i'm a C++ developer, i will like very much to see two programs: Notepad++ and InType.
And a Linux API, like in Windows we have the Windows API(windows.h) i will be very happy with a linux.h!

Thanks!

I was going to write a lot of negative stuff here, but really, a lot of the software you want people to spend their lives messing with is proprietary junk.

Just one example that can certainly be done without - Visual C++. MS has done their best to pervert every standard language that has ever been devised, but C++ more than most. From the very beginning of the spec (early 90's) MS has purposefully subtly crippled the compiler in this tool in order to have well written software fail. The last time i looked (2003 - 4) they had not fixed this. You really use this crap? I am speaking of course of the infamous "variable life" problem when declared in a for loop. This problem, and others like it mean that if you write your software using MS junk, it will probably not compile on other compilers. This is supposed to be a standard language!

Flash Player. I have downloaded it several times and even using instructions for installing on 64-bit system have never been able to use it. And almost every day I get something that says "Must have Flash Player."

Flash on which distro? I've had no issues on Ubuntu, Debian, or PC-BSD, maybe someone here can help?

Autocad. It's a major application that doesn't run under Wine or its derivatives. It's also the major reason why many businesses can't run Linux. They rely on Autocad and there is nothing quite as good for Linux yet.

1) TVU player simply the best for watching TV but cant get it working in wine and no linux version
2) Microsoft streets and trips or at least a decent linux clone. I don't think people understand how many users use it
most commercial truck drivers and a whole lot of business types that are on the road.

I settled on a "Logitech Marble Mouse".. With this mouse you can even sign your name in clean clear smooth classic writing, using just the tips of two fingers... Me thinks this mouse is Prime for editing.. you can use it for hours without sustaining any aches...

This mouse was discontinued about five years ago, but you can still find them in big older shops for about $35... The thing takes a little getting used-to... The first week you want to fling it across the room, till you get good with it... Once adept with it you can set mouse-speeds at max.. with a loose relaxed snap of the index finger-tip pad, you can move the mouse from the bottom of the screen, to dead-on to a switch or button at the top, much faster than a conventional mouse can be moved "without smoking" the mouse pad, with about a 20th the energy expenditure...

VB.NET , a GUI for All to Avi, PowerPoint. Took VB.NET last summer and the offerings for Linux are not newbi friendly. OO Impress cannot export to Powerpoint. All to Avi Windows GUI is easier to use than Avidemux.
