I don't know of any similar to "microsoft access" that runs on linux. This is something missing that has real uses. It's hard to imagine that it's easier to develop on a Windows platform, but there are definitely a couple things that are better.

I am yet to come across any other unices which provide "microsoft access" type applications as part of the operating system. This isn't really relevent in a debate about what linux lacks compared to other [commercial] unices.

That fits more in a discussion about what types of applications are lacking from a standard linux distribution.

Welcome to my Journal... I've been meaning to start posting here regularly for a while, however I just haven't had the motivation to do so.

The current world wide situation deserves several comments here (and yes, I know it's all been said before, but not by me!).

The current actions of the governemnts of the "coalition of the willing" (COW) are causing more international tension then the fact that Saddam may (or may not have) weapons of mass destruction.
