I wouldn't call it bigotry. I'd call it laying the foundation for the rest. If you want to support all of those languages, you have still have to support C first, since the kernel interfaces, standard libraries (like X), and standard tools all need C library support.
Why does anyone have to pay royalties for SDRAM? Does RamBus actually hold that patent as well? If so, then what memory technology is encumbered by patents, EDO, FPM?
You can set squid up to block sites all different ways using ACLs. There's at least one place to get lists of porn sites in squid's ACL list format (I believe it's in the FAQ), so you can easily accomplish this job with free software. It's also easy to set up your firewall to transparently send all web traffic through squid. Why bother with the commercial packages at all?
Check out http://geda.seul.org for Gnu EDA. There is a VHDL simulator, Savant, which I've worked on. More info at http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~paw/savant. There's a Verilog simulator at http://www.icarus.com, too. All of these projects could use help from interested parties!

One thing I couldn't find on the web pages is if there's 3d support in Windows NT. Any comments?

Mind you, I haven't tried these but here you go.
