I installed the Creature Creator back when I was still looking forward to Spore, and I was unaware of that the Creature Creator came with that crap too until today.
So are you saying I also need my own ISP too, because it's an external source and it's not necessarily under my control? If something happens to it, the mail won't reach my mail server! And how can I trust them not to spy on me?
All my mail/calendars/etc is downloaded to my machine. If GMail suddenly disappears, it's not much different than if my internet connection gets disconnected in regard to controlling my email.
And what I like is that Google actually gives you choice. If I don't like their GMail interface, I use my email client. If I want information snippets, I can put some widgets on my desktop. If I do a Google search, I just enter "gg" in my address bar followed by a query. If someone makes a Google calendar, I can give a URL to my calendar application, and it will keep an up-to-date copy.
Of course it's sometimes convenient to use the web version, but is that really a bad thing?
(I know there are some companies that don't offer choice, but Google is actually pretty decent)
I think the point is that with 2.6, your old code will work but will tell you what to change. If you move to 3.0, unless you have those changes already, it just won't work.
When I bought my Dell/Linux laptop, aside from the fact that I knew that I'd have no driver problems, the Linux laptop had an option of an NVIDIA graphics card, while the Windows equivalent offered an ATI card. Apart from the fact that I didn't want ATI with Linux, the NVIDIA card was about $50 dollars more expensive, even though the laptops cost the same.
I've always wondered why on Linux laptop, the lspci command gave me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1) Now I know:)

My laptop's kernel is 2.4M and has everything built-in except for two modules - VirtualBox and NVIDIA.
Everyone knows that the year of Linux is always next year.

Does anyone know of a way to remove it?

Not singleton.

But it actually does run Linux.
Here's the first link I got after a quick search:

Except it's the no-sound version. With a little guesswork, I was able to figure out the right one:
