RE: 12 great apps for bridging Windows, Linux and Macs

How about great apps like Thinkfree and OpenOffice?

Don't know how to SAMBA?

A major omission would be SAMBA, which for starters lets files stored on a Linux/Mac/BSD box appear as just another Windows file share - great for users that don't want the expense/hassle of a Microsoft-branded server but have Windows, Macs and Linux clients on hand.

This is an excellent file syncing/ back up utility that works extremely well. Very helpful for syncing my work from my home mac to my work PC.

what about synergy?

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.

You get 2 Gigs of space for free. If you sign up using the link above you'll get an extra 250MBs. No ads no adware free cross platform secure storage and file syncing using SSL transfers with AES-256 encryption.

You can use a web interface at work if you can't install software. This allows you to have access to all your files everywhere. I use it to sync all my bookmarks. If you drop a bunch of pics in a folder it will create a slick lightbox photo gallery for you and generate a url to send to your friends.

Killer cross platform app.
