To prevent this from happening to others, it would be beneficial for recovery purposes to set a timestamp a week in the future (or some user defined time) to mark the time for the deletion of temporary files.

This could have been avoided, if when opening the file from Thunderbird, it would put a copy outside of temp, or when saving in ooWriter, it would have realized it was saving to the temp directory and given me a warning.

Still, for general recoverability purposes, a timestamp-based solution seems reasonable.

So the main suggestions I'd make out of this event:
-Get OpenOffice and other applications to generate warnings about saving in the temp directory.
-Give temp files a certain amount of time to be recovered.

Implement What's this? functionality in windows.

Create an easy-to-use graphical manpage and documentation browser.

=======================
- There are no known programs installed to open "jakebox" files.
- Ubuntu can install one of the following programs from APT automatically. We believe they may be able to open the file: (Show packages: eg. KJakebox, JB)
- Or you may select an existing program to attempt to open it with. (Show existing program list)
- Or just cancel
========================

This would be integrated with synaptic and catch all unsupported file types, and means that even advanced users wont have issues opening files they have never seen before.

I think all hands would be up on brainstorm when i asked if people have at least once been sent something they had to google to work out how to open.

I asked this because of the future ways to managing desktops. (The predictors predicted that future of desktop computers is web (remote or local))

And after that I think you should have PHP and MySQL by default!!

1. I've got windows or mac os installed and I want to keep them installed.

2. I've got windows or mac os installed and I don't want to keep them installed.

3. I've got windows or mac os installed and I want to keep them installed and I want my settings and transferred (ie background, favorites)

4. I've got windows or mac os installed and I don't want to keep them installed, but, I want my settings and transferred (ie background, favorites, pictures, documents)

And of course an advanced button. Or you can hide this under a beginner button.

I prefer to have a tab container those have big tables to list users and groups.

And prefer to see a groups member in group section.

2. Ubuntu would be ideal to sport something like "Time Machine". That way of backup is idiot-proof and Works.

3. Re-package the best Ubuntu Video editor and Sound editor to make it idiot proof.

4. Better fonts.

5. Super professional, cool looking - 'starting templates' for Publishing, Presentation and Spreadsheets.

6. Native first class Photo Manager with essential editing and device-sync capabilities

In a nutshell, Ubuntu needs a uLife suite!!

(This function could even be somewhat hidden by requiring something like ctrl-buttonclick)
