You're absolutely right, that's par for the course when it comes to your average Joe, but those in the know know the true idiot is the one who cares what others think.
Great observation. I believe we reduce the political field to two parties because we all want to win... So we rally behind those who have the largest chance of winning.
Even if someone follows a third party, they most likely will vote "with the winner" instead of their own party which stands little to no chance of winning.
The dick part comes in when you love something and some other imbecile shows up and starts shitting all over it with false and misleading information - trolling - purposeful or otherwise, then arguments and insults ensue...
MS Office is unique in the sense that only MS Office is going to open MS Office files with full fidelity. You can use any of the multitude of Office alternatives to create and publish files, but as soon as a third party sends you a MS Office file, when opening that file in any program other than MS Office you're risking data loss.
A great performance to price ratio. There is no equally spec'd Windows laptop at the same price.
Simplicity. I understand you can pare down any OS to the necessary essentials... that's exactly what Google did so the consumer did not have to.
Unique "actual apps" that require Windows are actually far and few between. The behemoth - MS Office, Games, Image/Video Editing, CAD, IDEs. Now, I understand everyone is 5up4r l33t and needs the best of the best, properly licensed, most resource intensive "actual app" available to mediate their genius into the world, but there are webapps that already exist that fills those roles. And I'll tell you from experience, the WebApps might not do a lot of this, and won't do a lot of that, but the fact that they exist at all and are marginally useful is an accomplishment in its own right.
Subscriptions. For schools especially... many of whom are already on Google Apps for Education. Small businesses with no IT.
Security. Students and employees won't be doing anything outside of the browser. Remote wipe.

Better get some bandages for that bleeding heart of yours.
For one, we're talking about "Disrupting the Internet" vs. "War". Your choice of emotionally charged wording does not change that.
Secondly, define "legitimate military targets." Are not they different for every group? Legitimate depends on your point of view.
There you go, you got it - insecurity and lack of self-worth.

Thanks for totally nerding out on a passing comment. :)

I hear that. I feel the same way about my cocaine. This Netflix change has really pushed my budget over the edge.
Not an E-350, but I think it's forgivable for $345: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246115

Could you revise your post and add a bit more Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt to make it truly a compelling argument?

Should have used Bitcoin. No worry there. Right? Right?
You think so... Until Google changes your mind!1
I have a sneaking suspicion that once Google+ goes live, you'll be able to skin most of Google's apps with a theme of your choosing.
Assuming... But measured against what timescale? Data. Data. Data.
It's about fucking time.
I'm deploying Chrome. It even has Group Policy templates. Sorry, FF. :(
There is no right to privacy at work. Even for private businesses. Well, in MD anyway.
