Any machine that DIDN'T have Windows on it would be charged a fee under the theory that any PC with out an OS installed would likely get an illegal copy of Windows installed.

I woulnt say its "the most unwanted console in recent memory". Its just too expensive for most casual gamers. Like the 3DO, Jaguar, and others it may be a great system but you need a large user base to survive.
The three-dimensional information is obtained by taking pairs of images from slightly different vantage points as the spacecraft orbits the Red Planet. What no radar?

Ya the support open source software so much I heard they are going to help with WINE.
I hope they go after spam, those stock spams are the worst.
Ok, but is the US going to control the new DNS servers?
I hope that cipher doesn't slow down games on the big screen.
Id like to see more independent TV stations. Of course once there is enough bandwidth everyone can have their own TV station...

Shouldn't a solid state device be able to be read faster than a spinning disc?
What no PONG?
I would also recommend The Intel Architecture Software Developers Manual. Oh, and its free.
