I agree that a quick glance is in order, but your table was
unfortunately a poor format for that kind of information. With the
exception of "Windows Webfolders", no row had a checkbox in more than
one column (and Webfolders should have only had one) -- that's a sign
that a multi-column checkbox isn't the right format. If instead you
want to do something like this:
Standalone applications
Microsoft Office, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, ...
Explorer extensions
Webfolders, Nautilus, ...
Filesystem implementations
Mac OS X, ...
That's fine. It ain't like there's so many of these things listed that
the application names need to be the "keys" into the table -- a quick
vgrep does the trick.
