How long before spell checking becomes a standard part of Windows? It's already across the whole Office suite, it's done in Firefox and the Google browser toolbar supplies the feature too. Then there's the spell check applications like Spell Check Anywhere that adds the feature to all Windows programs. That's what makes me think it's probably going to become part of Windows itself in the future.
On the other hand, perhaps this is something that could be included in a Linux desktop environment, allowing bragging rights to the open source community. It also provides a further incentive to run Linux rather than Windows, since spell checking would come free in programs on Linux but not on Windows.

PS - I don't know if Linux does, could or will come standard with spell checking.
PPS - I should probably do a little research before posting things like this.
Update: I have learned that Mac OS X does provide system-wide spell check, so good on Apple for that one.
