    I've tried songbird, but it doesn't manage video for me.

    RE OOo, it's true, it's nearly impossible to sell Open Office to a business using MS office already, even when their current version is reaching obsolescence but a smaller, newer company may be easier to convince...
    Ufraw is great for 1 photo at a time editing and I like some of its features but rawstudio is for like all your photos at once

    The default theme needs to look a lot better.

    I just tried to view some powerpoint presentations with OO and they were unreadable no matter what styles I chose. I don't really use any kind of office software very often, but for people who do, expecting them to either not be able to view documents others give them, or fiddle with settings to do so is kind of unreasonable in my opinion.

    Its not really fiddling with settings and which version of OO do you have? Which version of MS windows documents are you trying to open? And if its reason enough to complain that you have to change 1 thing to get a lot more access to different (tons of different) formats, than thats a pretty lazy outlook. When I start trying to program something and I have a problem and need to fix it I don't decide to move to a different programming language because I have to change something to make it work

    What do you mean by defaults. Your post was very vague haha. Do you mean for your Linux settings overall or for something else

    I think he means he wants to be able to open ms office files without having to change any settings at all...

    You're right. I thought he was the person who posted earlier in this forum saying the only thing he didn't like about linux was font size, in which case was very vague.

    Adobe is the key, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, After Effects, Premier and you would pretty much take away a huge % of the reason people can't switch fully.

    It would be a really good business move for Adobe with the current "Apple vs Adobe" war.

    Ooooh interesting! I never thought of it that way!

    Yes, Adobe should definitely look hard into that.
