Are you serious?! Have you SEEN the update manager on Ubuntu? I'm wondering. Since with the update manager, all of your applications are updated with it, as opposed to with Windows, where your base OS is upgraded from their little download icon, and some supported programs. Not to mention that the update manager doesn't decide "OH HAI, IZ JUST REBOOTIN YER COMPOOTOR!" like windows. Seriously, Windows has nothing on the more polished Linux distributions, or are you one of those "Power Users" who tried Slackware five years ago and can't be bothered to touch another distribution again, since you can't find "That little e that puts me on the internet"?
Dude... Don't even joke. Knowing MS, they'd probably make it filled with DRM that broke your disc drive with a failure to authenticate, and knowing Al Qaeda. your speakers would then blow out mustard gas.
it's not much of a distro. Only a new skin. Christian edition, even though I don't agree with it, does include different packages with their release. That's why I wouldn't put it in, it's just a theme.
You know, on the McDonalds thing... You have a point. Remember when they started giving out those little video games in their happy meals? I was too old for those things. but I didn't care. I went, I got the chicken nuggets, the fries, and absent-mindedly ate them whilst playing those games, since I thought they were rather neat. Now, I could see the potential for a small Linux powered device, tittering away, powering some small game boy like item, given for free with a happy meal in the near future. TV's already run Linux, by the way, at least the HD ones do, and as for toasters, I could see the use in active monitoring systems, though it seems silly now, in the future it would be quite useful. Air conditioning, however, offers the best use of a small computer, because, of course, hacking that to mess with varying rooms of the house would be very, very fun.

right, Google is a small company, and most corporations like having their bottom lines trashed by having to use microsoft server in their datacenters.

I'd recommend SliTaz, it's only half the size of DSL.

Must tell you, I just built a fairly high end Linux box with Gigabyte, GREAT board.
