The only thing of real importance you listed is Photoshop and Intuit, and there's rumor that it's being ported. However, I'm a pro. photog. and I do ALL my work in Linux and the Gimp, which is a VERY good app!! I have no doubt that MickySoft is doing all it can to keep Intuit from porting. >>b) Do not exist for *Nix, or the equivalents in *Nix are bad? > > No they don't or yes they are.

Gimp isn't? Hmmmm..........don't tell my clients that, will ya?!! ;) The only apps. needed are from Intuit. There ARE others apps. to replace them, but Intuit has done a good with their apps. and if ported to Linux, would just about secure the desktop for Linux.
