@Iampriteshdesai

I have to agree with venkat on this one. even if your computer cannot be affected, you can still infect other’s computers.

Hi, it’s me again. I just woke up and I came up with the idea of a new software I’ve been looking forward to have: SmartDraw. As far as I could tell, it’s one of the best Business graphics software in the market. I’ve been relying on web tools such as Gliffy to do this kind of graphics (e.g. UML diagrams) and although Gliffy has literally saved my ass, it’s no real competitor for SmartDraw. Of course, I’ll have to rely on Wine (or in CrossOver) to be able to run it ;)

Since Linux and Mac OSX have less percentage of users hence less viruses are built for them.
I am using Ubuntu and havent got one virus!
Even on PC with XP I only got infected once!
That too because my stupid brother disabled Avast and the virus could gain an entry.
Try Linux, you might end up liking it. It is Free, you can even run MS Word 2007 etc on it.

@Iampriteshdesai
I can not agree with you no OS is safe from viruses ,threats or infections in my opinion whether it is windows or Linux.

@Sebastien
I managed to get my hands on Codeweavers. It isn’t as good as Wine, but it has been preprogramed to install some vital applications like MS Office all versions, Photoshop. So you can install them without any tweaking.
I tried to install MS Office using Wine but failed, however Codeweavers installed it in a snp and it is working :}

Thank you Martin, as one of those that visits often but doesn’t comment as often as you would like it’s always appreciated. Looking forward to this giveaway, will have to try to comment more often too :) Can’t come up with anything in particular that I would love right now but will throw out a name..how about Do-Organizer or something similar, a ‘top of the line’ PIM

I agree with Sebastian, Crossover would be a good choice for Ghacks to give away: it is a technology-related application.

Well, I am sure we would all love copies of Ableton Live, Photoshop, Sony Vegas, but I guess they can’t give those away ;)

It’d be cool to maybe get some games for free, since you are the only tech blogs to cover games (and good on ya) or anything really.

Just make sure they aren’t those silly LE versions that are essentially ads for the full version.

Sebastian — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:06:56 +0000

For all of us running Linux, it’d be nice to have a copy of CrossOver (from CodeWeavers) so we can run and test all the neat apps advertised here at GHacks!
