Integration between OSes - solutions on how to coexist

[leif....@gmail.com]

Recently integration between the OSes have become more and more
important. As more users are switching between OSes (Mac home, Windows
at job etc.) the more users look for solutions on how to use their
favorite programs on all OSes. Even when the program/application
originally is only written for one OS, we can use emulation programs
to make it work in other OSes.

I would love to have a new section in the Lifehacker book that
collects the most important solutions we need to implement to live a
productive life, even as a crossplatform user.

I think that your subject would be a great title for a chapter or
section on opereating system coexistance.

Agreed with Nicholas here. "How to adapt to using multiple O.S's" or
something.
Problem is, having information for 3 main O.S's in one book will just
make it bigger and impractical.
A compromise will have to be made somewhere.

Web-based services seem to be the most obvious solution.

I agree with Ed, web services are the easiest way to allow multiple
Operating Systems to share certain types of data. Google Apps comes to
mind for Mail and Documents; Flicker Comes to mind for Photos. What
other web apps are there that work reliably across the 3 major
Operating Systems?

There are some other programs which work on all major Operating
Systems; Firefox, Thunderbird, TrueCrypt, The Gimp, etc.

It may be worthwhile to include a chapter for the 3 main Operating
Systems for system specific Lifehacks. (eg, quicksilver on the mac)

I like that. Keep 'em short and sweet and it shouldn't over run it
with excess pages.

Web-based OSes anyone?

[Nicholas M.]

I've heard of YouOS

There's many web-OS'es, although the one's I'm looking forward to are Jooce and StartForce, which recreat the XP look and feel quite well. EyeOS has an artsy theme that mac users might enjoy, although it's predominantly green. G.host has a ton of storage space and has a rather generic look and feel. It used to be IE only, but recently it's been made available to run natively in FireFox. All in all, there's no shortage of choices for those who might switch between Windows/Mac/*nix/BeOS/whatever and want to maintain a universal workspace, online at least.

I find Box.net and my external HD useful for coexisting :)

Is that with just the 2 GB of free storage?

[Joe Anderson]

I'm not sure how much storage you get. I get five as I have a lifetime
premium account (I referred five people).
