I upgraded Vista business x64 to Win 7 Professional x64 RTM back in August. Everything worked properly. This including a Oracle 10g2 installation, IBM SDP installation - things i actually would expect to break. Of course MS Office, Firefox etc worked like a charm as well.
I used P2P only couple of times in my life. Neither i did use torrents. Part of the reason is that the speed is too slow, searching is often awkward, it just didin't seem to cut it technologically. Another reason is that P2P downloading implies uploading and as far as i understand to upload stuff is far more dangerous than to download.
Instead i have been using Rapidshare premium for the past two years. For 1€ in a week i get tons of stuff and i get it fast. It isn't like leaving a P2P connection overnight to download a movie. I get 720p content, say 7 GB rips in 20-30 minutes, since my own internet connection is the only bottleneck, rapidshare serves content as fast as i can receive it, so i constantly get around 7-10MB per second. Can P2P compete with this?
For the more general public to understand what you have to say you need to stop being rabid and infesting the interwebs with your propaganda and "nudging".
I own an iPhone, i do watch videos on it and i am happy with things the way they are now. Also, i frankly don't get why flash is not enough and why anyone needs this bullcrap. So what?
As my economics Professor so elegantly explains:
"And you need top understand that there is such a thing as a free lunch. Canadian health care is free. How do we know that? Because that is what the phrase says. Free. F-R-E-E. Therefore, no one pays for it. It's just there, just like that. Canadian legislators took the advice of an economist like (but not quite like) myself, and with a stroke of a pen, made it free. "
next free booze for the unemployed, free birth control for the retarded and free money for all!
I don't like the word "lie", it is too emotional. Since truth is in most cases subjective i see no point in using it that much. I wonder if this example involving your friend that you make is an exception that confirms the rule or just representative. From my experience expensive products are virtually always better than the cheap ones if not for quality per se, then for the service, for the pleasant shopping experience or for status matters. Fortunately with all these internets you can easily go read discerning oppinions like here, or negative product reviews on amazon. I also suggest you try reading peer-reviewed literature for less of what you call lies.
I wish MS would just say: "you know what, EU bureaucrats, you don't like our operating system, so we decided, we won't sell our products in your contries". Several days after the UE economy comes to grinding halt, and probably some of them brusselstards lose their jobs, the rest will be more market economy-friendly and come back begging for forgiveness. I know this won't happen, but think of it as of the "year government doesn't mess in things it has nothing to do with" which is as elusive as your "year of linux desktop."
Disclaimer: i live in Germany and i know how this "for the Common Good(TM)" and "for the Childern(TM)" works, you won't sell it to me.

Shareholders in turn bake that money into pies. That is KKKapitalism for you.

I'll wait till jesusTablet releases next summer.
Can i now start a browser company and get free advertisement from Microsoft?
Linux is about freedom from tyranny of productivity. Fixed that for you.
Insightful? My iPhone is just as locked in Germany as it would be in the US.
You both are dicks. If anything, GPL gives freedom to the Code, not to any humans involved.
Here is the reference you are talking about: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2008/03/12/the-story-of-the-ribbon.aspx I doubt anyone who have watched this would say ribbon is unintuitive eyecandy.
How many of you guys know how to shoe a horse? This was probably once considered knowledge every man should have.
