Journal Bruha's Journal: AI2 by Lycoris to Help Linux 3rd Party Apps
Lycoris has produced a new product called AI2 which seems from their press release to be a killer way to allow 3rd party applications interact properly when installed in Linux.
The aim of this system is to allow ISV's and other 3rd party vendors to create a small file that AI2 could read and it would make the software function with the OS. This means that you could seperately install Mozilla Thunderbird and Opera Browser and both would interact with each other as if they were native to the distro.
Why is this a good thing? Consider the level of knowledge requried to make just those 2 apps work out of the box with each other. Also consider just installing and changing the required files to do the same thing. Joe Linux cant and will not do this. They're more likely to just stuck with whatever came with the machine. We all like choice and it should be extended to even the Linux user who has hardly any ability to change things in his system. It is my hope that Lycoris will license this to other distro's to help improve the abiliy of Linux to be desktop friendly to new users.
