I rarely look at the submitter of the article, only the article itself. Please learn not to use ad homen strategies to sooth your own ego. If you don't like the topic, don't blame the submitter or the editorial team (Sorry Rob. I didn't know how else to classify your job). Just because a certain person submitted an article doesn't meant the topic is not relevant to part of the Slashdot population.
I agree that I don't like watching movies on small screens there seems to be a portion of the public that does. Take a look at folks purchasing UMD format movies for thier PSP's.
Is it a scare tactic to get cheap access to Cell processors? Sony's President(?) did make an strange appearance during the MacWorld keynote to push the new HD tech in the iLife apps. Could there be more to that relationship?
I think every company that has a significant investment in MS software says they're investigating alternatives. It's part of the corporate negotiating dance. AT&T at least gets the luxury of receiving headlines for talking about it. Yes it's a bargaining chip for AT&T and yes AT&T will probably get a small "discount" from MS the next time their contract comes due for re-signing. Will they move away from MS solutions? I doubt it. Microsquish knows what a huge pain in the butt it is to re-deploy all of the desktops in an organization of that size and they know this is all just negotiating rhetoric from AT&T.
Aren't these the same folks that hold the MP3 encoder patents? If they are the same people I wonder when they'll patent the quantum computing algorithms?

Pare down the kernel to a manageable size and plop a VNC client (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) in there and you'd have a nice little terminal.
