Wish-List for future releases:
Posted on Jan 08, 2009 under xn--zqqs84h3is.com | editHere're a few of the things on my list (some of them have been brought up before):
More context menu functionality, such as the ability to right-click in the start menu and perform various functions such as arrange icons by, rename icons, etc.
The ability to drag and drop icons onto the Ceedo quick-launch bar.
The ability to add shortcuts to both sides of the quick-launch bar.
The ability to set up your own Profiled Applications and menu shortcuts.
An API/ SDK would be very nice to have.
A built-in file shredder.
A build in file encryption application. This would be more for encrypting word processing documents than anything else.
A built-in email client, rather than the current setup where Outlook and Outlook Express are profiled. Yes, I know that you could use Thunderbird or another third-party client, but I'd like to see Ceedo get self-contained, do-it-all functionality, at least for the basic, every day stuff.
The ability to write CD and DVD media from within Ceedo, even on a locked down PC. Yes, I know this one will be very difficult, if not downright impossible to implement.
The ability to drag Ceedo to any location on the screen, instead of having it relegated to the bottom of the screen, right on top of the task bar.
Now, this one is shooting in the dark: I would like to see fully-functional versions of Ceedo for Linux and Mac computers. No, I'm not being greedy, I just like a lot. :p
A Program loading / progress status indicator...
I don't know how fast things load on a HD Ceedo install, but on the Flash drive I'm using there are times when I can't really tell if anything is running or not.
Love it otherwise

I agree on both the points that you made; updating your post when you have an item to add to your list, and not replying or posting a new reply unless you have something to add (possibly about requested features that already exist in Ceedo, but are not well known.).
In this case, I have something to add.
Concerning the removal of the orange (or whatever color) border around application and explorer windows that are launched from Ceedo, you can remove it. There is a check box labeled 'Highlight all open windows under Ceedo' in the Options Appearance menu that you can uncheck to remove the border. Please see the screen shot.
Features!
1. A desktop! Currently Ceedo lacks some interaction with the desktop that normal Windows installations have. Maybe a hybrid-view containing this traditional Ceedo environment, but also a desktop?
2. Printer support. Ability to install local/network printers.
3. Cleaner Ceedo drive paths. Currently a unit with Ceedo has lots of folders at root level if you explore the drive: Maybe narrow the amount of visible folders down a bit, by f. ex hiding the Ceedo folder (as modifying/deleting files in it could cause the Ceedo unit to malfunction!).
4. Localized welcome screen (the one that pops up each time you start Ceedo (unless you disable it).
5. Hardware analysis tool. Test a unit to estimate how good it will run Ceedo by doing some read/write tests on the unit.
6. Ceedo system service. A Windows service running in the background, making Ceedo able to run on locked down computers/Limited permissions systems with full admin right on the Ceedo unit itself (this one is possible!).
7. Themes. Skinnable Ceedo. Or at least ability to choose between a dark and a light color scheme.
8. Switch to host function. See: http://www.ceedoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487 for more information.
9. Ability to remove the orange line covering all programs that is executed from within Ceedo. Currently you can change the color of it, but for advanced users I think there should be an option to remove the line. Maybe have this option disabled as default (default is "Show orange line").
10. Custom My Documents, My Music and My Pictures folder path. Could be nice sometimes to be able to choose your own path.
11. Import Favorites from other browsers than IE. Currently only IE is possible to import from. Would be nice to be able to import from Opera, Firefox and Safari too.
12. Antivirus/Spyware/Clean-up utilities (like ccleaner) support. Does Ceedo currently work 100% with such sofwares? Would have been if not.
13. Wallpaper changer. Let's the user have his own wallpaper on desktop of the host computer for as long as Ceedo is running. On exit, wallpaper reverts back to default on the host computer.
14. Find a way to make activation of M$ Office and iTunes work on Ceedo. Currently you have to reactivate (Office) and re-authorise (iTunes) every time you change host computer due to hardware of the hosts isn't identical. Maybe make Ceedo virtualize a complete computer, fooling iTunes/Office etc to think they are on a physical machine, while they in reality are just running in a virtual one?
15. Under "Help and Support" on Easy-Access menu: Have a link to the Ceedo Forums as this is an excellent community to share thoughts, get new ideas, get help etc. ;)
16. "Tip of the day" feature in Ceedo. Like "Did you know that... you can change the name and picture on the Easy-Access meny?"
17. Support for .NET Framework (1.1, 2.0 & 3.0), JAVA Platform (1.5 and 1.6), VB Runtime Files/Script Editor, DirectX 9 & 10.
18. Shortcut in Easy-Access menu to root of Ceedo Unit. Currently you'll have to goto My Computer and select Explore to get to the root of the unit. This way would be faster.
General Ceedo Optimizations
A) Improved speed on the virtualization technology. Don't know if it's possible, but if it is then nothing would be of more worth to us users than a faster Ceedo :D
B) Improved error handling. Currently it seems like some users have problems making Ceedo work on their systems and units (could be hardware, software, the computer or maybe the Ceedo unit that there is something wrong with). Maybe more detailed logs on what's happening in Ceedo and the OS could help solve the problems they seems to face?
C) Error handling dialog. Currently you would have to send your Ceedo logs manually to the support email, but maybe we could have an error report dialog (like the one in XP that suggests to send error to M$) do this for us automatically.
D) Easier way to update Ceedo license if you format your unit/buy a new one. Perhaps the license mechanism grants you 3 automatic license renewals pr year. If you exceed this then from the 4th time you would have to get it manually activatet/re-generated again. This will shorten the waiting time for customers, and also the need for contacting support. Also, if you buy a new unit which you activate the Ceedo license on, then the old one will be deleted (to prevent you from using Ceedo on two units at the same time with the same license).
E) More up-to-date Programs Directory. Currently, I see that some of the software tools isn't up-to-date. Maybe it could be smart to develop a plugin that will check the website of it's developer to see if there is any new version released, and then alert Ceedo Company if it has.
F) Synchronising tool. I want the "My Documents" folder on my "host" computer to be synchronised against my Ceedos "My Documents" folder and vice-versa, so that they are always up-to-date. Make this feature work against whatever folders you want, add ability to choose which way each individual folder should be syncronised (from Ceedo --> Host, from host --> Ceedo, or both ways) etc. This could be sold as an Ceedo Add-on! ;)
G) Remote Help. Seems like quite some users have trouble getting their programs to work as they should, so how about a remote help function that Ceedo staff can use to remotely diagnose an Ceedo unit?
H) Plugin support (SDK). Great way to extend the possibilities of Ceedo Personal. I'm thinking along the lines FireFox have done it. Would be a good way to increase number of people who would use and buy the product, at least I think so.
IMPORTANT NOTE!! To keep this topic clean, I suggest that you don't reply unless you have something to add, and also: 1 topic pr user: Don't spread all your suggestions over dozens of topics, instead just update your existing reply with the new information you want to add ;)
