I tried installing Spellbound on two different computers w/two different OSes both to the same ends through about half a dozen attempts: Reinstall the Spellbound Libraries! Hoorah!
But the author of the article referenced in this thread says: We need an open Simple Operating System (SOS) that meets the needs of the majority of people who buy PCs for everyday home and enterprise tasks.
What is more simple: an OS that has a system-level spell checker available to any native application or spell checkers that have to be installed & maintained at the application level. How many times have I had to add my wife's name to spell checkers on my WinTel workstation at work? Well, count up the apps I use. How many times have I had to add her name on my Mac at home? Once.
