Please try again on a computer with the following Compatible operating systems: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a Mac with Tiger (OS 10.4) or Leopard (OS 10.5).

I bet Biden talked them into blocking Linux since it is the Open Source people who stand up to the RIAA.
That depends on a couple factors:
1) How long until McCain kicks the bucket. Yes, that's morbid, but I think he's losing his grip on reality. IANAD, but I've heard people mention that he's getting the first signs of dimensia. Granted, that seems to only help in getting party nominations... So, who's the VP candidate?
2) Also - Do you think that Obama's a higher risk candidate for something particularly bad to happen? Since Hillary isn't the VP candidate, I don't think that she'll put a hit out on him, so that probably helped. But that doesn't stop some wacko from going after him for whatever reason.
Of course, the risks above are worst case, and I wish neither on the candidates. What's better is entirely up to what you... Good luck.
I'll be voting Libertarian.
This just is another reason to remind people that Linux is pretty much the best OS out there! It blocked the Socialist National Convention!
This is why Linux is not making it as an operating system. The average user doesn't want to be incompatible. Sorry...It had to be said...you know it's true.
