I’m not sure how “compatible” TITAN LEV can be to Windows, but I suspect its weakness is built into linux itself. Simply put, management of the computer, files and software on the computer need to be closer to 100% as it is in Windows. In Windows you only need to use a command line in rare instances, and I believe that’s one of the key things linux distros need to improve. Well, that and the issue of supporting more Windows hardware so Windows users can more easily make the switch – a major benefit of linux.

I haven’t gotten a chance to try Wine beyond Notepad++ the night I installed it. Soon after I moved my office around and the new placement for my linux box (my tertiary, “learning” machine) was too far away for wired connection, and I started spending less and less time thinking about linux.

I don’t want to jump through any hoops for these apps, I’d really prefer Adobe wake up and start offering them native for linux.

In both the home and business sectors Windows has a large advantage and in the form of a large, established user base (each feeding the other). I personally think linux will start to catch up to Windows as linux distros become “easier to use”. Last time I chose a linux distro, I chose Ubuntu as my favorite, and sometimes it seemed the only way to get something I wanted was through the command line. As a former DOS user that’s okay, but not preferred and I think more importantly most of America would say “What’s a command line, and why does it seem like I’m not really in command here?”

MacOS seems to have shown itself as too expensive for “the masses” (or it just loses the price wars).

People are willing to make learning investments.. I think it’s fear of change, not actual change, that counts.

Which versions of Dreamweaver and Photoshop are you using?

Have you tried them yourself on Wine?

What problems have you run into? Let me know and I’ll make sure we’re looking at them.
