Shockwave is the only thing that comes to mind.. I do believe (not knowing alot about it) that is depends on ActiveX quite a bit.. so this proabbly the limiting factor behind why it hasn't already been ported.. (Like Flash player)...

(This may have been mentioned already, but I certainly don't have time to look thru every msg here - guess I could have searched.. oh well...

WARCRAFT III: Reign of Chaos.

I would have to say shockwave. -Also Alienware should make a linux version of their AlienGUIse.

There appears to be no complete cd/dvd transcoding/burning tool around. It would be really wonderfull to have complete NERO ported for Linux but only if it can be self installed!!!

I would happily pay full price for it.

My dream list:

• ASP.Net (by someone other than Microsoft ) -- laugh, but it's a great technology
• Visual Studio (again, you may laugh, but it's the best IDE out there. Eclipse, Anjuta, and Quanta, as good as they may be, are not ready for prime time yet and require a lot of configuration, patching, and debugging themselves)
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• JASC PaintShop Pro
• Macromedia Studio
• InDesign
• Ulead Media Studio Pro
• MapPoint
• ATI's Catalyst drivers (with the quality of the current version, Catalyst for Linux's existence should not be acknowledged)
• TopStyle (excellent CSS editor)
• A GOOD NTFS driver
• Trillian (I prefer it over Kopete)
• DiskKeeper (because even Linux partitions can become fragmented, especially if you do NLE - it's the nature of the beast if you deal with large files)
• MSIE (you may laugh, but testing web applications without requiring a reboot or sacrificing compatibility under wine would be great)

I realize a lot of these will run under wine or crossover but at 80% of native speed, at best.

I wont give you alternatives as that is not the topic of the thread
but just a couple of notes.

That exists and works extremely well - MONO.
I program in ASP.NET but don't think its a great technology.
When a site becomes big like Orkut - it becomes extremely slow.
It is a good technology to do something small and in a short-time if that is what you mean.

Use MonoDevelop.

I am a web-developer and use both CrossOver Internet Explorer (which is slow I agree)
and Win4Lin Internet Explorer (5.5 - I dont want to upgrade so I can test this version)
Win4Lin is blindingly fast.

No it doesn't .. fragmentation is infinitessimal.
and starts just barely showing (although pretty insignificantly) when hard-drive is over 95% full.

Linux picks up NTFS read-only ...
there are kernel-patches to make it read-writeable now

Are they stable enough for production now? I've used NTFS write in a pinch to rescue stuff Windows couldn't see, but I'm very hesitant to use it in production. If it's stable/reliable now, I'd like to see some detailed info on it! Do you have a URL? Here is the kernel I am running:

Linux kim2p3lin 2.6.5-7.111.19-smp #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 15:10:58 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

. . . as part of Suse Linux.

Total (Windows) Commander, but please make it free

One program that I absolutly cannot find a Linux replacement for is BrilliantPhoto. I had even written to the developer asking about a linux version, he responded by informing me that there is no money in it. I'm soon see how wine handles it- though I really think that this defeats the whole purpose of switching from windows to Linux. I can't believe that there are simply no good photo-managment programs for linux that handle IPTC data!

For that matter, if I'm already firing up the wine, I just may use Winamp 5, as I have yet to find a media managment program in Linux. Again, this seems to me to be something that LOTS of people would be interested in (am I the only person on the planet who organizes his mp3s?), so why the lack of a media library program?

And, of course, as much as I hate IE, my bank's site requires it. It even detects Opera when I tell it to identify as IE. Suggestions?

Hafuh-al-Hafuh is in my opinion a must-have for Hebrew users, but I think that a similar program would be useful for users of other languages that differ greatly from english (Russian, Arabic, Thai, etc..). This program changes text entered incorrectly (when the input-language is incorrectly set) to the desired text. So that 'akuo' turns into 'ùìåí' and 'é÷êêí' turns into 'hello'.

Other programs? Lots. But as I'm fairly new to linux I have still to search for their linux equivilents, before I complain that I can't live without them.

If a web site is written using standard coding, it will work well in any browser. If your bank's site is based on non-standard code, which fails to be rendered correctly in a standard-supporting browser, I would suggest writing to you bank to complain about this, and change to another bank if they don't get it sorted out.

All of the adobe stuff, of course, plus UltraEdit (a very powerfull feature-packed text editor which I use _A LOT_ - beats the living crap out of kwrite )

All of the adobe products. Everyone loves pshop, but Premiere, Illustrator, etc. I know I'll never hear the end of it, but I prefer GoLive over Dreamweaver. So far I don't care too much for the web site apps available for Linux. If I knew more about programming, I'd build one myself.

Some of the 3D apps would be cool. I know Maya is available, but I don't know about any of the others.

Does anyone know if wine would run any of the other adobe apps? i haven't bee able to find any info about anything other than pshop.

Heck, right now, I just want the Adobe Gamma Loader (why is it so hard to find any info about adjusting color temperature in linux???????).

A lot of web sites even if they would work have detection scripts that are so stupidly written as to prevent their loading altogether. I've even had issues with sites that specified IE5 but were too stupid to anticipate there being a v6, so no one with IE6 could load them until they fixed it.
