xTunes was an open source iTunes clone for X that Apple legal got shutdown (or at least made them change the name) very quickly. I don't remember what they changed the name too.
Here in Pennsylvania, the state gov't mandates that documents exchanged between other agencies are in Microsoft Word and Excel file formats.
One could argue that programs like Open Office and ABIWord can read and write these formats, but the compatibility isn't quite there, and of course, these formats are a moving targat, as Microsoft tries to make them even more closed. When is the last time they (MS) added a feature to word or excel that really required a non-backward compatible file format change???
Because of this many of the agencies are forced to use MS Office instead of some of the alternatives.
AND they're forced to upgrade to the latest version every time the gov't does. And, since MS Office isn't available for Open Source OS's, this forces these agencies to run MS Windows OS's. (yes, you can get MS Office on Macintosh's, but since they cost so much more than PC's to buy, these agencies won't use them).
What we need is a couple of decent open-standard file formats for file interchange. AND we need to prevent companies from twisting those standards and pushing them on users (like some unnamed company in Redmond that intentionally breaks standards like HTML and Java so that webpages made with their programs only work with THEIR browser).
Where does one get a copy of the scripts to run the photoshop benchmarks?
I did some timings of the Watercolor filter, and was surpised by the results. Using a 800x600 scan of a photo, I got the following times (sec. speed number is bus speed):
What amazed me here, is that the 400 Mhz mobile P-ii with a paltry 66 Mhz buskept up with a G4 of the same speed. Also amazing is the G4 should no advantage of an equivalent G3. I also exptected the Athlon to shine over the Pentium a lot more than it did.
The Intel and AMD systems were both running Win2k SP2.
The Macs were tested with both OS9.2 and OSX.2 (jaguar) -- results the same.
Photoshop 7 was used in all tests. I'm a big fan of Macs, but also like Intel/AMD's if they don't have Windows on them, but Photoshop isn't available for Linux yet..

This is only serve to help MicroSoft spread FUD about Linux. Not only will it hurt SCO, it will hurt the whole of Linux and Free Software in the business world. Companies will flee from free software due to fear of lawsuits.
Try QT from Trolltech . It is a C++ based applications framework. It has a visual form/screen design tool, and then you build your app using makefiles and the C++ compiler of your choice (G++ works best). It is open source, but you need ot buy a comercial license if you want to sell the result.
Supported platforms:
Any X11/Unix system (Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc).
Win32
MacOS X (Aqua -- you can do X11 development under
OSX with the unix package)
I use it a lot, it is a very good package. KDE is based upon QT, and it is also the underpinnings for Borland's Kylix, which is basically C++ Builder for Linux, and also the newest versions of C++ Builder and Delphi.
If you just need Windows and Linux targets, then Kylix/C++ Builder is a good choice, I'm sure that being based on QT, Borland will be offering Kylix for other Unix platforms too.
The PowerForce Dual G4 Series 100 at 800MHz will cost US$799; the 1GHz model runs $1,119. The PowerForce Dual G4 Series 133 at 867MHz and 1GHZ cost the same, respectively. PowerLogix anticipates their availability within 2 to 3 weeks.
When you consider you can get a brand-new 867 MHz Dual G4 with all the other good things that come a long, like DDR RAM, bigger faster hard drive, etc, and then sell your olrder G4 for probably more than the difference (depending on how it is equipped), you'd be better off buying a new one and selling your old one. (Just MHO)
I tried to install Evolution on my Redhat 7.2
system, and it broke a lot of programs for me.
Open office no longer functions properly, all the
drop down menus had their text replaced with what
looks like dashes, unless that is just really really small text.
I forget what else broke, but I do know that it
replaced a lot of.RPM packages (mostly libraries).
WHat I researched trying to undo these changes, most people said the best solution is to wipe out and re-install redhat.

If you just switched from OSX to Linux on your mac, then use Mac-On-Linuxg t; to run OSX (and iTunes). It works pretty well -- on par with VMWare on the x86 platform (I've used both), but unlike VMWare, it is Free. You just need plenty of RAM (512mb is a good start, that way you can give 256 to OSX and still have 256 left for linux).

I don't have any adware/spyware/virus problems with MacOS X or Linux with Mozilla or Safari.
The simple reason is, that they don't allow things like this to work by Default.

You might be able to use Rational Visual Test with a windows based X-server to control Linux (or any Unix) apps.
Can't they just ship with multiple version
of shared libraries?
RH7.x does this so you can run binaries compiled
for RH6.2 as well as ones compiled for 7.x.
