If OpenOffice allows me to revert to the classic UI, or even a hybrid mix of the classic UI and the "ribbon-ized", then I think it's a good idea. However, if not, at least Gnumeric and AbiWord still have a sane UI.
There still is a classic mode in 7, but due to the interface changes in Vista and 7, it won't look exactly like XP/2K. Also, the Start menu can no longer revert to classic mode.
I would have suggested BASIC around a decade ago, but I can't think of a modern BASIC implementation that's neither horrendously complex for a new programmer or insanely outdated.
JustBasic is a nice (somewhat) modernized version of BASIC.
When the infected idiots wake up tomorrow and find that their hard drive was wiped, they'll go out and buy a new computer, and throw their old ones on the curb. And since I need some new parts for my machine...
I believe the Wikimedia Foundation uses OGG. And since the Wikimedia foundation runs one of the most popular sites (Wikipedia) on the Internet, I do believe that "people" use it, and that you have come across a site that uses it.
DOSbox is for running games, not necessarily for business applications. To quote the DOSBox wiki:
In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.
A powerful processor alone can cost well over $500 so why can't the OS cost $300?
And to quote the parent post:
A Core 2 Duo that can handle even Crysis costs well below $300.
An i7 920 costs $279.99 on Newegg. That i7'll wipe the floor with that Core 2 Duo, and I belive that the i7 is a "powerful processor" that costs well under $500.
Microsoft Corp. announced today that they were planning on acquiring SCO for $1985.67. "I believe this is a great opportunity for us to diversify our product portfolio", Steve Ballmer said in a press conference.

Fyi, 216.178.38.116 is "profile.myspace.com".
I believe you've never heard of Evolution then.
Once again the open sores community shows that it is only able to imitate, not innovate.
That is, unless OpenOffice improves upon the Ribbon UI, and it's shortcomings, of which there are many.

Now Minister for Family Affairs Ursula von der Leyen implied
There shouldn't even be a family affairs department. What families do is their own matter, unless they do something illegal.
Yeah, 1994 called and told me to tell you that it isn't "the 80s".
How about just a chair as the icon?
Three juries. Three verdicts. Not the faintest breath of sympathy for the geek taking the stand.
I wouldn't quite call them geeks, as a geek would be far less likely to get caught.
No, no. What you do instead, is send them 600,000 CD's with the Free Software Song on them.
The sane answer would be to contact the printer manufacturer and request Linux drivers. If enough people do so, they'll write Linux drivers.

According to manufacturers, CD-Rs should last for decades.
According to their marketing dept., rather.
How do we KNOW that they'll REALLY last 1,000 years?

Trying scaring someone on 8-bit arcade graphics.
Maybe not 8-bit arcade graphics but.... it has to do with locking someone in a room with an Atari 2600 and one game. That game being E.T.
Yeah, well my IP address is 127.0.0.1.

What about an 8-track tape deck? That thing ain't worth 2 million dollars.

I heard that Cyrix CPU's had bitching performance.

Right here.

There's a large difference between that and plagiarizing someones code.
