Hope this helps. :> Stuff I'd like to see: An industrial strength, all OS/2 producitivity suite (that's not hung in endless beta ala Smart Suite/2 and Star Office) A good drawing package ala Adobe Illustrator Desktop publishing Some multimedia apps -- encyclopedia, games, dictionary. Take a look at the stuff available for 3.1 and Win 95 and you'll see what I mean. It would be great to have a few really nice children's games in the line of Broderbund's stuff A good HTML authoring tool with Java/Netscape enhancements A mapping program (roadmaps, geography, etc) Stuff that will help Win 3.1 multimedia apps work better (Myst, for example) Just a few off the top of my head. I'll post more if I think of them.
