1. Ensure the utmost in synergistic use of software by ensuring multiple instances of applications share as much as possible rather than loading redundant instances... such as in executible code and cached files (icons, graphics, web pages, etc. etc.)
2. Ensure everything works out of the box. It's better to select one app for each major purpose and ensure it works perfectly and ensure there are help pages for it than to throw in thousands of poorly refined apps as with Mandrake, for example. It should do the following and do it very cleanly and well: a. Wordprocessing (quality MS Word import/export) b. eMail & Groupware (shared calendars, etc.) c. Browing the web (ensure flash, PDF, and real media works! And ensure fonts are OK sized) d. Spreadsheet (quality MS Excel import/export) e. PalmOS synchronization must work f. Database--needs desktop database in leage with MS Access g. Presentation app (quality MS PowerPoint import/export) h. Bitmap graphics application (the Gimp or Photoshop) i. Flow Charting app (Kivio is good) j. Project management app (something somewhat like MS Project) All of the above are listed in order of priority. A through H are critical and the others are just very useful. Unfortunately, no reasonable free alternatives exist for a desktop database or project management. A desktop database is required for all the little departmental database apps used for miscellaneous data tracking/reporting tasks. Project management software such as Microsoft Project is good for project planning and estimation of managers at all levels of an organization but task tracking and queue management is also often needed by organizations..... often integrated with ticket tracking systems that are often web-based--luckilly. --Matthew On Fri, 19 Apr 2002, david scott wrote: > Ok, I know there have been several strange questions > passed by me in the recent past.
