Talk:Linux Guide/Software equivalents

The list under the Windows column seems to leave out a large amount of free software, like Firefox, that also runs in Windows. The page introduction says it is a list of "commonly used proprietary software and their open source equivalents" but is is broken down by operating system. Either the table should be a list of oss software vs commercial, or it should be a list by OS. Right now it is jumbled and does not fully represent the software landscape.
 * Agreed - this should present separate tables for Windows and Mac which list platform-specific applications and their equivalents on linux. In addition, cross-platform software should be listed. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 20:57, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I'm editing this right, I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles but I feel that the attitude of "necessary" AV software should be changed. Just because it's not needed doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used. Just my two cents. : ) March 8, 2010, 8:45 EST
