Since I am a lone developer with no one to exchange ideas with I wish that you guys could fill in the gaps.

I am searching on the 'hot' or 'cool' features of applications of todays standards, and I would like specific ones like for instance adding a 'Search History', stuffs like that. Or perhaps you could point me to a downloadable application that is feature rich (aside from Outlook of course).

Thank you so much guys!

Andaming bagong technologies ngayon na pwede mong i-explore katulad ng mga buzz words na "silverlight", "WPF", "MVC", "Data Services", etc... 

 I am actually looking for specific flashy features, got any suggestions?

Hmmm... I don't think people would just give away their idea for a good software feature for free... Don't you think? Well, unless you could convince them that it's for an opensource project that they themselves could collaborate with...

 Got a point there but perhaps some of you guys could provide suggestions that is 'free'... :-)

Perhaps you could provide a type of software that you're trying to make? It'd be easier for others to think of something.

Microsoft Office is always a feature rich application... start with Office XP's rich features, then implement Office 2007's ribbon and those cool "shy toolbars".
