A rough glance over the forum would indicate that iTunes, CAD and various mobile phone interfacing/management tools. (xxx PC Suite).
iTunes is a really sticky point for a lot of people... a couple I have been helping migrate to openSUSE have got hung up on this recently. Songbird comes really close in interface, but as usual... as in the same as with Banshee, Amarok etc etc... it only works with a few iPods... cannot find the iPhone and so on... plus without iTunes you cannot properly manage your iPhone.. no firmware upgrades for example (in my experience using VMware or VBox to flash your iPhone is a great way to break it - the 4 or 6 reboots the iPhone does during a firmware flash don't work correctly because the Linux host intercepts the USB device before handing off to the VM... and that breaks the flash process). iTunes for Linux (or some fully compatible equivalent that is more than a media player that looks iTunes-ish) would be a huge improvement for the casual desktop user.
- FIBU/accounting software. double-entry book-keeping etc.
Getting something like CA Simply Accounting (or a compatible equivalent.. SA is a lot more than QuickBooks or other single user bank balancing software) working in Linux would be great... and working right, not hacked and tweaked by an expert. If it worked I know of at least one business that would migrate off Windows without a second thought.
