I agree. Let's stop wasting time trying to make Windows apps run on Linux and put the resources into developing quality native apps.

"...[P]ut the resources into developing quality native apps". I couldn't agree more. The Linux/Open Source community has shown time and time again that when need be the talent is more than sufficient to tackle and conqueror any task or challenge. I fell it's more than high time that the commitee decided what is needed. Oh, seems that a fair percentage have already done so,... that being a comprehensive and user friendly office suite. We keep hearing it over and over again. M$ Office compatibility. Like it or not boys and girls the world has been force into a quasi-standard by M$. It's like being a heroin addict. You can't just go cold turkey with out a methadone program and trained medical staffing to supervise the recovery. The same, in an off-hand way, is true about all the M$ Office minions. They will need a stop gap and hand holding in order to make the switch. And like any addict, once clean and sober, they almost never go back. We have the talent, we have the means. The question is.... do we have the will and desire to accomlish this task and succeed? Cheers, Curtis.
