M$ itself is now supporting cross platform. I read an article on the M$-website after a link I followed from a slashdot article. A Word 2003 document can now be saved as *.xtml.

Did You read the slashdot article? Howdy, within ten years or less, Microsoft will be dead. After they tryed to make a worthless port to Linux. This is not a joke, as it may looks like. Google this OS. They allready had many lawsuits against m$ allready. BUT the funny part is that they work for m$. Yeas it's not a joke. It's strategy. What they try to reach with all this is that they make two completely opposite OS's so they can hit, or they TRY to hit, the market on both ends. If one dies the other just keeps on going. But... we all know that won't happen

AutoCAD would be very nice; as well as the Rockwell automation applications!

Cheers!

Sorry to break your illusion, but this IS a joke site.

Would like to see a Linux version of Nero Ultra edition for authoring DVDs.

Well, the site I linked to is probably a joke . But M$ has a Linux developpement centre and bought a 'few' major linux developpers. But in the end they don't really have a choice, right? If everyone's going to claim linux is better m$ will eventually make their own ms-linux, so people think the next m$ product is great because it is Linux. They will probably sell it for $99,95 and it will, once again, be shipped with every Dell pc

My dad said he doesn't like Linux at all, but he wants to have it now because it just works and doesn't need to load a lot of anti-crap software into the ram. Imagine what we have to do today to make it work: Defragmentate every month. Run Hitman Pro(donwload link - this site is dutch but the software is english/winxp) every week for about 4 hours. Scan 30 minutes for anti-spyware every week. Today we can't use that OS anymore without having 9 bilion spyware threats on your pc. There is a solution: buy all software in shops and never use internet - can you imagine?

i'm pro flash and DW and photoshop.

K3b does a really nice job of CD/DVD burning - give it a look

If it wasn't suggested yet, Internet Explorer! Along with all ActiveX things.

dalponis you can use crossover and it also works on wine apparently too so you may not even have to pay anything

Heh, that was a joke. I wanted ActiveX and IE ported? Yeah, right.

DC++ client for Linux, PLEASE!

(and one that's actually as good as the DC++ is on Windows - the ones I've seen so far are utter cr*p)

I would love Notepad++ and a x-window version of 7-zip (there is a linux version called p7zip but it is only terminal.).

Have you ever tried to burn a .img file to a dvd? This is a snap in Nero, but in K3B it tells you that it isn't a valid iso file. I don't care, it works and I want it on the disk!

Nero is the king for a good reason. Keep working K3B, maybe one day you'll be good enough to use in place of Nero (then Nero will have to become free or die out and we'll all use Nero free!)


Of course that M$ site is a stupid joke written by someone with nothing better to do with their time. It talks about Microsoft invading Cuba blah blah blah...

There's a KDE plugins which convert any images into .iso, including clone cd ones.

Is there a pdb format book reader for linux like isilo for windows?
