18 Features Windows Doenst have
* eSeong Network User Reviews *
* ) RocketDock - FREE - http://rocketdock.com/
Stickies - FREE - http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/
Switcher - FREE Expose clone - http://insentient.net/ - (uses vista 3d desktop, so very resource light and fast, but vista only)
XP/Vista Virtual Desktops - FREE - http://www.codeplex.com/vdm (thumbnail previews, the works)
Before it was Otaku Deskpace , the software was called Yodm3d and was free, the last free version, 1.4 is still available on http://www.klitetools.com/comments.php?catid=58&id=5280
Windows Web server IIS is built into many (most?all?) distributions of windows 2k/xp/vista but not installed by default, use add/remove windows components. (as a dev I still preffer runing apache 2.2 locally though)
* ) Things PC World should have but doesn't:
1) Brains
2) More Brains
3) A little more brains
* ) This is quite possibley the worst piece of dribble I have seen come out of this pathetic rag in a long time. I must ask, do you actually use Windows? If you do, you'll see almost all of this is there. So are you saying you would like to see the implimentation of it copied EXACTLY? And what idiot said "Put a server in!" worst idea ever! Great, let's open up consumers to hack attacks over web servers. Oh and I seem to recall Microsoft making a server product... Geez, the name escapes me of their server offerings... OH! I know! Windows SERVER.
And if they put more software in, you'll complain saying it is anti-competitive.
To continue the trend:
7) A healthy portion of brains that would make Hannibal Lecteur squirm.
8) A PC
9) A copy of Windows
10) Ability to write articles without bias.
* ) As for sticky notes I think Vista has a sidebar gadget that does this.
Also for Screen sharing, check SharedView 1.0 from MS download, I think that provides the functionality that you've mentionedin iChat.
I don't really agree on the feature that having a unified menu sitting at top of the screen (rather than having individual menu strip in the application window). Apps for Vista have a tendency to loss the menu bar (eg. IE hid the menu by default, WLM (Messenger) hid the menu bar by default). I think this is a trend to simply hide the menu bar as the most-used features are accessible through other UIs in the window. Not to mention that some apps don't use menu at all.
