1: useless if you have workspaces. Plus F3 is bad system shortcut (too simple = overrides app's use)
2: BeOS had for a decade
3: VNC (s)ftp ( whatever ftp client you want) = $0
4: VNC again = $0
5: cron tar/zip/... = $0
6: cdrecord ? (even for win32:
http://smithii.com/cdrtools ) = $0
7: use real ones < $3
8: you're 2 years late on hypeness. besides a podcast is just an xml file mp3 (which means you must search the mp3 url in the xml file if you don't have a podcast client instead of just clicking the mp3 url directly, stupid). plain mp3 = $0 - $(time wastes on browsing the xml)
9: that's the only good one so far (but even in ubuntu it doesn't always work).
10: pure eye candy cpu waster = useless = $0
11: "uncluttered" ? like everything else it becomes cluttered when you use it too much. Just put your desktop icons at the bottom = $0
12: Wow, great. BeOS put TGA files in home/ on PrtScrn 10 years ago...
13: I'd rather have the full wall that way. keyboard shortcuts command line.
14: set icon size to max, make window 1 icon large, and scroll down. $0
15: BeOS had the 0-config poorman in 10 years ago. you can use apache on win $0
16: lol!
17: totally biased. I could say just use the terminal, everything has the same font in the terminal, it's much simpler.
18: BeOS almost has that, apps have resources, they can be removed by trashing the folder usually.
To sum up windows misses what BeOS had 10 years ago and some Free software. What a news
