A point that has been raised before is that NT sales are being inflated by people taking exactly the advice you just offered - sysadmins are specializing their NT servers, using one for Exchange, another for fileserving, and so on, when the load is such that one server ought to do for multiple services.
I'd like to see an estimate on how many extra copies of NT were sold because of the decision to split the serving tasks up.
Of course, the CD drive in a Mac does not have a barcode reader to check for the authenticity of the CD being played, meaning (presumably) that it can play copied games without modifications. Sony might have a problem with that.
RH denies freedom of choice? My stock RH5.2 came with at least three window managers that I could readily find. If I don't want one, I rpm -e it. Same will go for GNOME - if you don't want it, rpm -e. No mess, no fuss, it doesn't screw up the whole OS like MS claims removing IE will. The only thing restricting your freedom to choose is your ignorance of the available choices.
Distributed.net's clients aren't open-source, so patches are out. A frontend, though, that spawned rc5des and grabbed its stdin and stdout could be open-source (and could compile and run on any *nix system that Windowmaker does). The issue, of course, would be whether a frontend for a non-free program could be considered free.

The Slashdot effect will probably reduce that TRS-80 to a pile of molten slag...
