[ge-talk] UI ideas

[Ari Haviv]

I really like that Linkback idea. Should be part of the OS so that more than
a dozen or so apps will use it.
Microsoft will never do such a thing because they want everyone to buy their
entire friggin suite. But if we have the "suiteness" in the OS, you can have
a word processor from A and the best spreadsheet from B.
Also better for our smaller developers who don't have the resources to come
up with a suite only to have everyone criticize it for being half baked.
