Well, after using OS X for a while, I must say the feature I enjoy the most is the system wide spell checking feature. Other features of OS X annoy me and while it's a pretty good/stable operating system, it's just not for me since most of the software I need is for Windows and I have a lot of software/classes that require Windows. Plus, I just prefer the Linux and Window GUIs over OS X's (though I do fancy the dock).

Anyway, just as the thread title suggests, I want to know of some system-wide spell checkers for both Windows and Linux.

I've heard of As-U-Type and am trying it out now. Unfortunately I cannot try out the corrections list (like when you right click on a work to fix it in MS Word) unless I pay $30, plus it's a time-base trial anyway.

Does anyone know of a good system-wide spell checker that works in Windows and is free? What about Linux? Does it also work in Opera(For some reason, most spell checkers seem to not work in opera... At least from what I've heard).

Thanks!
