To be wildly successful: 1. Easy file sharing!!! I support http://www.limewire.com
2. Easy media playback and organizing, like http://geexbox.org 2. Easy GUI-based dial-up networking (i.e. easy for my mom to use) 3. Easy/Automatic use-your-WiFi-card-as-an-Access-Point / ad-hoc networking software to use FreeSBIE for "Wifi Surfing," http://nate88.textamerica.com/?r=2327725 4. Easy light-weight wiki streamer / ad-hoc friend-to-friend messaging (ok, I am still working on this one!) http://evolvethis.com/ogo3 I said "Easy" on all of them. Grab someone off the street and watch them try to boot Freesbie, watch them closely and take notes. You can bet that Microsoft has all kinds of secret usabiliy studies. Want to beat them? Just make it easier to use for music and YOU WIN! PEACE :-) N888 http://betterdifferent.com - working together to change the world http://evolvethis.com - forking the stream -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
