    And before you go off into a rant - 4% is not acceptance, it's a margin of error.

    What % was the acceptance of Linux in the business again?

    Well I guess (really just a guess) stock Ubuntu doesn't include elilo/doesn't support booting from EFI, that's why they used BootCamp.

    Mmmm, wait... does Linux use the BIOS for hardware access?? (excluding the boot process) This is something new to me.

    You have to hack it 'cause Apple puts in checks to prevent running it on non-Apple hardware.

    Oh yes, I use it. Accessing my work email - MS Outlook Web Access - makes it crash. It's even funnier because I couldn't find other sites until now which would make it crash.

    5. Viola - XP "dock".

    I have two of these on my screen - one for places (Network drives, ftp locations, etc.) and one for Apps. Very convenient, and very dock-like.

    Voila, you just created another "Quick launch" toolbar. It's not Dock-like. It does not indicate whether an app is running or not, and the icons cannot show information while the app is running.

    You might have a point there. I posted the above in the assumption that Win7 will be released next year, or in 2010, the latest (that's what MS says now, right?). You probably are more realistic and think of something like 2015 as a more probable release date. ;)

    Here's me, for example. I have at home a PC with Sempron 2600+ and I'm happy with it (and an iBook G4, but that doesn't count because it's not even x86 :). There's my girlfriend, she has a P4 Prescott @ 3 GHz. Also not 64 bit capable, but gives decent performance. My notebook at work is about 3 years old, also doesn't have a 64 bit capable CPU, and is still usable. There are lots and lots of non-64bit CPUs is use today, and many of them are in systems capable of running Vista and Win 7.

    And, not to mention, there is still software which doesn't work on 64-bit Windows, XP or Vista. (Flash Player on Win x64, anyone? ;)

  21. Re:Pointless on Windows 7 Beta Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    NT4 was the last NT to support Alpha, AFAIK. But Windows 7 will still have to deal with at least two architectures: x86 (32-bit) and x86 (64 bit). The 32bit architecture cannot be dropped (just yet).

    Here. As a native Hungarian speaker, I can tell you that I wouldn't understand that sentence if it were told or written to me by a Finnish speaker. Note that the Finnish and the Estonian sentences are much more similar than either of them is to Hungarian.

    By the way, I was in Finland for a few days a while ago, and I can tell you, the language is totally unintelligible to a Hungarian speaker. The funny thing is, the Swedish notices helped me more in Finland than the Finnish ones (since Swedish is also an official language in Finland), because I was also in Sweden before, and speaking English and a little bit of German helps a lot in understanding Swedish.

  25. Re:My wife is Finnish on Biologists Create Genetic Map of Europe · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, I was extrapolating too far here (and yes, from French, as well). It's just that 11 and 12 are given specific words in most European languages but Finnish doesn't.

    IANAL (as in I Am Not A Linguist :), but I think that is only in the Germanic languages.

    Romance languages (of which Romanian I do speak): no.
    Slavic languages: no.
    Hungarian (my mother tongue): no.
    Greek: no.

    I wonder if there's a non-Germanic language which has specific words for 11 and 12...
