What do u miss in Linux

[hellmet]

I guess this is a novell way of askng the old.. but.. here is the
question.. what are the applications that you miss from Windows??
And Why..
Me::

1) MusicMatch Jukebox..Great Player.. Lets you queue files, convert them, play mp3pro,etc(of course these can be done in Linux but with some modding)

2)Nero::The best DVD/CD writing app I've seen , but sadly
is not OSS or freeware..

3) Norton Partition Magic..One great feature is that it allows you
to convert existing drives to another file system..

EDIT
4) Photoshop:: The BEST photoediting software..

Edit again::
5) Yahoo Messenger:
This one esp. for my mother who chats with
some of her frens and rel. overseas on Webcam, and Gyachi
is quite quite good, but still not as good as the Yahoo counterpart,
and I feel like spitting on Y! for not bringin out a good one for Linux
yet..

The only way I think we'd get all the above on Linux.. is
when there are too many users on Linux.. and there are
very few takers on Windows.. I am eagerly waiting for that day..
May God bless Linux

I miss MS Office for the access.This is what I use at college. I miss iTunes for managing my iPod. I miss games such as FIFA 2007. I miss Paint as in Linux we dont have basic image editing software. That is it. I dont miss enything else.

I miss all of the spyware and viruses :O

The only thing is new games. Everything else I have Linux apps that are better than their Windows counterparts. The only other thing might be Photoshop. The Gimp is great, but it's no where near Photoshops standards.

I miss paint... seriously!
I'm no GIMP, etc. pro but I still haven't checked out any simple Image editing software so maybe there's one similar to paint.

I'm no music fan... so I don't miss software like Itunes, JUkebox, etc.

Games... well... I don't want to start up my addiction so I kind of miss them but I know I'm better off missing them!

Games of course. And really high quality encoding tools like Exact Audio Copy and AutoGK. I mean, just look at Sound Juicer. Sure it's easy to use but is that all? It's really slow and even the track length information is all messed up.

[ziphnor]

1) Miktex's auto retrieval of missing packages
2) Ability to play new games
3) Easy desktop resolution/monitor setup, had to edit the X11 config file to get an acceptable display on my laptop's external monitor(mirroring worked but wasnt good enough since the displays have different native res).

Things that i dont miss:

1. Spyware
2. Viruses
3. System crashes
4. Windows Genuine Advantage crap

Why not try Kolourpaint, it's a nice simple paint app.

[boban]

Only games...

Then there is gnupaint.
Honestly I dont sere why people want to use a 3 year old programmed paint app like MS paint.
As for folks who miss photoshop it is possible to get it on linux via crossover or Wine...
Then there is Krita who cant stand the gimp's multi windowed look, Krita is a KDE app but I use it and think its pretty decent.
