Someone should tell Dr. Dre, Doc and Dr. J that. Not to mention Dr. Claw, Dr. Evil , and Doctor Who. Hell I know plenty of people with PHD's in all sorts of silly things that put Doctor in front of their name
He didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister", thank you very much.
Plus the nazis valued science much more than we do currently.
Research today with the same backing and intensity as they had back in WWII would give us rainguns and man portable laser rifles in a year.
I've had suprisingly good luck with the Easy Transfer Wizard when upgrading the various public pre-release builds of 7 and to the final version. After finishing the process, I can hardly tell I've reinstalled the OS, even minor things like links I'd clicked on a webpage on the old OS install are still the "clicked" color instead of showing up in the default unclicked color.
Still have to reinstall all your apps, but other than the important ones I usually do it on an as-needed basis.
and I know the groups I play with would rather sit on the couches I have in my game room than at the chair and table (which I created for board gaming).
I haven't run an active Anti-Virus software once in all my years of computing (over 20) and the only virus I have ever contracted on Windows was the Blaster worm that relied on a publicly unknown (at the time) bug in one of Microsoft's DLL.
Wrong, much like Conficker, Blaster spread through a hole that had been patched, if the patch was applied to your system you were safe.
If I remember correctly, Blaster was the impetus behind the whole "Patch Tuesday" thing at Microsoft.
Dude, seriously, nobody buys a server with an OS installed unless that's the OS they want to run on it.
They either have their own corporate image for servers, or will install it with their volume license.
It's not like desktop Windows where the cost of the OS license is absorbed into the cost of the PC, getting any non-free server OS installed costs enough that it's broken out as a separate item.

Rainguns? Aren't Super Soakers good enough?

Why not just go Start -> Run -> Windows Update?
