We can probably count on it that all of the big energy companies who fund the campaigns of all of the politicians who make decisions both directly and indirectly affecting the establishment of such technology in our society will see to it that it's a loooong time before any abundant, efficient and/or cheap energy source such as this becomes a reality. (This is most likely the reason that things like electric cars that very well could have caught on nicely in the mass market and be affordable by now are not "in" yet.)
Supreme Drive takes the missing harmonics -- known as "fundamental" -- and mathematically re-processes the data through a sound generator. When finished, music then has a more natural sound, according to Kenwood. -- This definitely smells like "marketing smoke" (catchy prose concocted by some articulate marketing person who probably does not understand anything about the technonlogy) Therefore, it's probably best to not even get excited over such a statement, and just wait and hear for yourself how it sounds.
Wow, I remember back in 1995 when I was watching Congo, being somewhat appalled that the guy at the beginning was playing Wolfenstein 3D on a Silicon Graphics machine (At the time, I thought that was like using an F-16 jet plane to go to the grocery store a few blocks away). Also of course, back then I aon't think was much aware of OpenGL. Now that SGI is shipping Intel boxes with Redhat Linux, I'm now believing that the scene I saw in Congo was realistic after all!
This was supposed to be a "findings of fact" document. However, upon close inspection, one can see that it is laden down with unsupported claims and assumptions(AKA inferences, as in, "the opposite of facts").
It is stated as follows, "It is unlikely, though, that a sufficient number of open-source developers will commit to developing and continually updating the large variety of applications that an operating system would need to attract in order to present a significant number of users with a viable alternative to Windows."(fact number 51 - page 26 in the PDF)
--I see no evidence in the document to support this "finding of fact".
As far as the average consumer is concerned, repeated media attention instills product recognition in the mind. Couple this with the noticeable shelfspace given to certain flavors of Linux at stores like Best Buy and CompUSA and you have people thinking, "hmmm, I've been hearing about that lately - maybe I will try it". It's understandable that some people who have been using Linux for a few years or more nay feel alienated by the fact that it's becoming accessible to the average consumer. But hey, it's Open Source.

I think Microsoft needs to change the name of their flagship product to LOSE2000 = Linux Outperforms Superbly in the Enterprise :o)
It is of course no secret that Microsoft has a huge marketing budget in order to easily make such an event heavily favor their product.
