Simply amazing!
Tomorrow morning, I’m buying a new Vista laptop and I can’t wait to install all those and test them out. I’ll report about “Media remote control” and Yahoo! Music Jukebox.
As for the suggestions, desktop search integration, whether it uses Vista desktop search or Google desktop search, would be nice.
Also, I mentioned it before but adding more languages to Enso Word would be a real +. I’m writing my thesis in French and English and having some Enso love for my French would be hot!

Great stuff Aza :) Your “announcement” for something big to come was a nice hint :)

Any chance Enso might get a plug-in system for everybody to write their own search-commands? I know, this would probably make Ensos look-and-feel different on each machine, but instead of putting in different commands for a search on Amazon.com .de .it .co.uk (and that’s what we need imho, as I dont want to search amazon.com but .de :) ), this could help a lot of people.

Personally I am glad Enso is not free. I am tired of free software. When someone devotes their time, creativity, energy and knowledge to create a piece of software, it is only fair to retribute them.

It is a virtuous circle. Give and Receive.

While there are some free software iniciatives that have been greatly beneficial, it has been damaging to small software developers. Now a days people just feel entitled to own and use software without any consideration for the people who have developed it.

The price of Enso products is very low and people are still complaining. I mean… seriously, what’s going on?

I would like to second Rob’s comment that it is a good thing that Enso isn’t free. Think about it for a minute, people:

There are many different models for software development. MS Office is designed by a mega-corporation, for profit, and is not free. People buy it because it’s pretty much guaranteed to work. OpenOffice is designed by everybody and his brother, and is free. But it’s buggy, slow, and it develops very slowly. Other open-source projects develop even more slowly. Many people work on free, open-source software because it’s fun and they’re comfortably employed and can afford to do some work on the side.

What happens if a small group of programmers, unemployed, want to create a great new app, and want to be able to dedicate themselves full-time to it? Should they have to get jobs in a pizzeria, work on the software at night, and give it away for free? Why shouldn’t they be allowed to start a company, work like crazy, and then get paid for what they produce? That doesn’t sound at all strange to me.

In other words, some people want to design software for a living, which means selling it. The customer, in paying for the software, gets a lot more development and (hopefully) better support than with free software.

If someone offers me an old couch for free, I might take it, but if I see a couch I really like in a shop, I’m not going to go to the salesman and complain that the couch isn’t free. That’s absurd.

You go, guys. Stay out of the pizzeria and keep cranking out those features.

Rob, and Gregory: You’re the kinds of people that faith in humanity! You showcase that we really do want to help support each other. If Enso was using the GNU General Public License, you guys would be ones giving them money to keep them out of the pizzeria!

The remote media control is great, the thing that makes Enso so good is that I forget I am using it.

I haven’t opened a start menu for so long, and spell checking is just there.

That to me is the mark of great software, I notice its absence when I move to a different machine.

What I would like to see is a list of what my Enso knows, like what open stuff it can display, as I have a load of short cuts and favorites that I don’t often use and probably need tidying up, and Enso seams to be a good way in.

Its a shame these are Windows only :(

But still, they look great, and I love reading the blog!
