I would like to see Aqua been ported to Linux, even if you need to pay for.

I would like to see a program similar to Microsoft's ActiveSync to get my PDA running Windows Mobile 2003 to sync up with Evolution. I know its a long shot, but maybe someday. That or maybe there is something out there and I'm just ignorant about it

Dreamweaver/Flash MX & Photoshop CS2. I usualy don't like to buy software when I can use open source for free, but I would be quite willing to put out some cash for those three programs.

SPSS. Not free but it is the most popular stats software.

Photo tools!

Specifically, Photoshop CS2 (or whatever 3 turns out to be) and some sort of rapid photo sorter/correcting program that reads camera raw. RAW support is fairly widespread in the Linux world, but nothing that works FAST. I'll shoot a 1000-2000 photographs in a weekend, and need to get them all color correct and ready for photoshop in about 1-2 days.

Bibble Labs has ported just such a program, but it simply isn't fast enough for my purposes.

Currently, I'm using Pixmantec's Raw Shooter Essentials 2005 under WINE. Unfortunately, they just got bought out by Adobe, so no more updates to this specific program.

Really, I'd like to see one of the RAW compatible GPL'd photo sorting programs attain the speed that is needed here.

MapleStory. The website only runs in IE, though. Not much chance.

a port is a program which originally ran on platform X but has been modified so it can run on platform Y... for example, if i have a program that was designed for Windows, and then i make all the changes to it so that it can run (natively) on GNU/Linux, then it can be said that "i ported my program to GNU/Linux"...

Question OpenGL and DirectX

I would like to have more of that B.A.S.S. (Beneath a Steel Sky) like games ported.
Startrek Amada II

BTW
Could someone tell me the difference between DirectX and OpenGL?
Isn't it possible to make a game in OpenGL?
