The Windows Operating System.

Potentially commoditized by net-driven applications, where cross-platform compatibility becomes a requirement.

Applications I run on Ms Windows (office DeskTop):

• MozIlla for browsing and EMail (and Chat Zilla for IRC, though sometimes Trill Ian for that))

  • would switch to Thunderbird and Firefox, but trying to get some people off of Ms Outlook and MsIE, and think a single new app seems less scary to them...

• [Active State] [Python Win] for PyThon editing (don't use debugging tools, but need folding outline, auto-indent, highlighting/auto-color, etc.

• GAim for Instant Messaging/JabBer

  • does it do IRC?

• Palm Desktop to synch my Handspring Treo; [ISilo] to grab web pages to read offline

• [WinSCP] for SCP, [PuTTY] for SSH, Tortoise C V S for CVS GUI

• [PgAdmin] for Postgre S Q L mgmt (though mostly I just use psql via SSH)

• Ms Office, occasionally trying Open Office; would love better Out Lining

• [E Mind Maps] for Mind Mapping

• local ZoPe server

  • for testing things that will go on a real server

  • to run local personal data (if hosted server won't handle the volume, which is sad - is it ZoPe's fault or the host?)
