NX 2008 Save Fail
Why in the world...

This is one of those annoyances that has been present in Unix since before time. My guess is some genius decided it was better to screw with users and not allow case insensitive text comparisons, than it was to burn maybe a quarter of a processor cycle.

As such, stuff like this happens.
A user could create a document called "Fail.html". When they try to search for the file, and type "fail.html", they are greeted with this big fat error message saying "This file does not appear to exist."
This is not how the real world works. Capitalization only matters for emphasis. It does not change the meaning of the word.
And then the problem is made worse by the fact that you can create a file called "Fail.html", then create another file and save it in the same location, and call it "FAIL.html", and it would proceed as if nothing had gone wrong. Now there are two files with the exact same name in the same place. Yes, the exact same name as far as anyone is concerned, because that is how the real world works.

NX 2008 KPresenter
Ugh, on a high note, KPresenter is a nice and incredibly useful program. Much different than some of the trash bundled with OSes today.

NX 2008 Shutdown
Shutting down NimbleX.

Conclusion:
NimbleX 2008 is good, yes. However it has a number of quirks about it that really take away from the experience and make it not as great for users as it could be. Plus there isn't an installer so you shouldn't be looking to install it anyways.
