"10 Windows features I would like to see in Linux"
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=1196
A fair number of the items aren't "features" as I'd recognize them...
The only one I'd unambiguously agree with is that syncing cell phones
is a Huge Pain for anything aside from PalmOS-based stuff.
- libpisync, for PalmOS, is eminently usable, but the platform is
effectively dead. I'm using a circa-2004 Palm Treo; I suppose I could
upgrade to a Centro (2008) or a Treo 680 (2006, available from Tiger
Direct these days). Near bulletproof, by now, but newer models aren't
compatible with anything meaningful on Linux.
- I can dump data off a BlackBerry using Barry, but I don't think I
can push data onto it.
- I don't think Android syncs against anything meaningful on Linux...
