I would like to have Photo Plus ported. I have used it with Windows XP since 2000 and find it excellent for photo editing with a very simple interface, not too complex and not overloaded with rarely used or indeed understood by the average user. I would pay about £30 for a Linux version

Would that rather be Operating System? A File System would be something like NTFS or FAT on Windows, and HPFS+ on Apple's OSX, and on Linux anything from EXT2,3 or 4 through BTRFS, JFS, UFS, etc. (pick n choose at leisure and to suit any sort of need).

As for games ... yeah sure, though I'm not concerned for myself. What still ties me to Windows is 3d CAM/BIM, everything else I need I can get either similar or better alternatives.

Agreed, though of late I've seen it become much better than before. Especially LibreOffice's compatibility with MSO file formats have improved drastically over Open Office's.

However, I'm not to sure if a Linux version of MSO would solve the issue. I remember the old Mac MSO, made by Microsoft actually had the very same formatting incompatibilities when opening a DOC / DOCX file made by a Windows MSO program. I.e. in some cases you were better off using Open Office on OSX. So even if MS would make a Linux variant of MSO, I wouldn't hold my breath on the compatibility side. Probably your best bet is to run normal MSO through Wine instead.

Agreed in part, though I find KDE's default file manager (Dolphin) to be very similar to Finder, perhaps not as comprehensive as Path Finder. Though I personally use a dual-list manager as preference - at present I prefer Krusader (these tend to have much more capabilities than anyone could ever need, it definitely has all of what Path Finder has).

Agreed. I find even Adobe InDesign / Illustrator to be inferior to CorelDraw. Perhaps if you combine both ID and IL as one you start to come close to CD (in which case it would be like combining Inkscape and Scribus together), but IMO it would still not actually give all the stuff I used to use in CD.

I use this program to log my pilot flight time. It is the only reason I still have Windows on my machine. I have not been able to find a comparable program in Linux. If this program could be ported, that would be just great. I think I paid somewhere around $50 for this version and would be willing pay again just to keep the continuity in my records.

Atlantis Word Processor works perfectly under WINE. You should try it.

I agree with those arguing for most graphics programs (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc) even though I find The Gimp to be reaching the point where it will overtake photoshop - something I would think would concern most vendors; I guess Adobe feels it cannot be rendered superfluous.
I would like to see DAZ Studio, Poser and other 3D apps ported. I use them now with VirtualBox but it would be nice to purge Windows completely from my system as I would sink any plague ship.

Hello,

I would really enjoy Netflix, so I could create a media streamer with it.

If I`m not wrong, I can run Netflix through Chrome or Wine, but there`s no native application for Linux.

Also, I need using MS Office at work. It would be great to have it native for Linux.

I get extremely annoyed by firewall/VPN vendors that do not include linux clients. If/When they do, they are for old kernels and shared libraries that break the client when updated. What ever the cost, I would charge it back to my customers as an operating expense anyway. I have been rolling my own solutions in linux for 20 years, and just getting tired/worn down. Shrew and openConnect only get you so far...

The latest version of Wine (1.7.5) does not load the 'Collaboration Support Installer' For Ancestral Quest 14. This is a huge program that my wife has been working on for about 20 years now.

CoolEdit with jack support, v1.2 would be ok

I like to see Geany editor in extras.

A basic slow scan tv prog. for ham radio use would be nice, (one that works simply even better)!

it doesn't install under WINE either. we don't need a complete port IF the thing would sport an executable to install there. another app I'd like to see install/run (at least under WINE) is ttax. if these happened goodbye winblows (what a piece a crap)!

a python GUI would be kinda nice too...

The programmes I need most in Windows is Photoshop.

The Gimp is not a serious alternative in Linux as only supports 8 bit images so immediately destroys valuable image data.

I would like to see Evernote and Google Earth Ported.

At my skill level, I would very much like to see CorelDraw ported to linux. It's masking tools are second to none.
