Anybody got an idea of a freeware application for Windows XP to monitor the amount of usage for each application and how often it’s used? I want to see which are the most used Windows XP applications without writing down each time I launch one. Be nice if it drew a graph you could look at.
I want to switch over totally to Linux, but want to be sure I will have all the applications I want to use on it. My main concerns are:
1. iPod - I know I won’t be able to use my DRM’d iTunes music, but I think amaroK can manage iPod music nicely and gPodder for podcasts.
2. One I know I won’t be able to replace is the application to connect my k800i mobile phone to the PC and synchronise calendar, contacts and notes. For some reason nobody has written an Open Source freeware application to do this. For starters, I’d expect I’d need specific drivers to allow Linux to see the Sony/Ericsson k800i phone and be able to connect to it for synchronising. The good thing is this phone can be put into FILE mode and it appears as two USB drives in Windows, so I expect this will probably work fine with Linux for copying images and movies on/off the device.
