    Yes it is the relevant article. But I had no way of knowing that and did not expect a search for ^H would yeild results at Wikipedia's search (I am impressed that it does when Google doesn't). Well... Now I know. Thanks!

    Try running an MS-DOS app from 1987 and having it still work on (32-bit) Vista. If Linux or OS-X can do that, then maybe businesses will use them more (for their workers, not servers in the case of Linux DOSBox

    Well, they had to see at least some of those "Wow is Now" or whatever it was ads MS slapped on every stationary surface and probably a few that did move. They knew something was going to be different.

    Plenty of people are buying Vista. Preinstalled. I doubt most of MS's profits are from boxed DVD's. And if they go and install XP afterwards...what does MS care? They already made the money selling Vista to the OEM. All it will hurt is Vista's reputation, which can't go down much further at this point.

    Mark 11:15-17

    they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves. He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple. He taught, saying to them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers!" 1. Nobody was killed. I doubt anybody was even seriously injured.
    2. It seems that what was being sold were articles to be used in the sacrifices and such. The situation described seems to be much like Scientology selling it's texts to it's members. The main difference being that in the biblical account buying and selling was probably from third parties (with assent of the religious leaders). I wonder how much they 'donated' to get a spot on temple grounds?

    So fight the minions of the devil

    Resist him, standing firm in your faith
    'Resist' is much less suggestive of violence than 'fight'. The 'stand firm' bit makes it even harder to make a case for violence.

    So...what kind of proof was that you asked for? Did you simply ask for anything, or was it more like: "If you exist, then levitate that rock/cure so-and-so's cancer/have this person win the election?"

    Don't follow Him until He shows up to you with something undeniably miraculous that you can point to for the rest of your life John 20:24-29

    There is some pretty compelling circumstantial evidence already. Demanding more seems a bit...arrogant.

    I don't pay taxes on my Playstation 2, or on my couch. You are not making money off of your PS2 or you couch.

    Do you want Microsoft to be able to forcibly buy out the Linux kernel? How about the Apache Project? If Linux and Apache go public domain beforehand, there is not much MS could do but plagiarize it. And that would only be necessary if you had to forfeit all rights to it when it was sold. I think of it more as an unrestricted license: you still "own" it, but whomever pays your price gets to do whatever they want with it (including give it away for free).
