1: useless if you have workspaces. Plus F3 is bad system shortcut (too 
simple = overrides app's use)
2: Haiku has it (BeOS had for a decade)
3: VNC + (s)ftp (+whatever ftp client you want) = $0
4: VNC again = $0
5: cron + tar/zip/... = $0
6: cdrecord ? (even for win32: http://smithii.com/cdrtools )
7: Zeta has StickIt from LostMarble...
8: you're 2 years late on hypeness. besides a podcast is just an xml 
file + mp3 (which means you must search the mp3 url in the xml file if 
you don't have a podcast client instead of just clicking the mp3 url 
directly, stupid).
9: that's the only good one so far (but even in ubuntu it doesn't 
always work).
10: pure eye candy + cpu waster = useless
11: "uncluttered" ? just like everything else it becomes cluttered when 
you use it too much. Dockbert ? :D
12: Haiku's go to ~/ BeOS had that 10 years ago.
13: I'd rather have the full wall that way :D
14: set icon size to max, make window 1 icon large, and scroll down. $0
15: BeOS had poorman and so has Haiku. + it's simpler to configure.
16: lol!
17: totally biased. I could say just use the terminal, everything has 
the same font in the terminal, it's much simpler.
18: BeOS almost has that, apps have resources, + they can be removed by 
trashing the folder usually.
