1. because things still need to be loaded from disk 2. because those fast machines still have a lot of hardware that needs to be initialized and a lot of those things have a certain timeout that needs to be waited for.
What they do is networkboot, with a really small fast booting BIOS, also because no1 wants to deal with a BIOS that says: Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue
Also, Yahoo has been using short URL's on it's frontpage for god knows how long. 10 years atkeast, that it not got included in YSlow just shows you how much this really matters.
We've learned from the past there are 2 ways to lock-in an open standard/format, of which Internet Explorer is the perfect example: stagnation and implementation-bugs.

But Windows CE sucks and people know it. Although it's not everyone yet, like Vista, but really, a lot of people already know Windows CE sucks.
There is only one feature they might not be able to deliver on, that is price.
If using Linux, mounting with noatime could also help prevent writes to disk.
Why ?:
1. because things still need to be loaded from disk
2. because those fast machines still have a lot of hardware that needs to be initialized and a lot of those things have a certain timeout that needs to be waited for.
The LinuxBIOS has the possibility to initialize several things at ones, which most other BIOS don't.
Like the large piece of memory or the large number of CPU's and very maybe that also means RAID-controller.

Of course you have to do your homework first such as determining if the applications the customer has will work with the upgrade.
The joy of Linux distributions is it's possible to just put a copy of the running system on an other and do some testing and/or test an upgrade.
With certain other OS's this always seems to be hard.
Only if the free ones aquire the needed features. I guess Linux is already really far along that path.
As the L in Lustre already points out, it's started out on Linux and was also just acquired.

We will never run out of oil, it will just be to hard to extract it from the soil to be profitable.
I think the parent, should have said tf2server.somedomain.tld, that would have been more clear.
It's called DNS, DNS already supports IPv6 and IPv4 next to each other for a very long time.
It's like the spoon, their is no internet 2, things only change on the internet with evolution, not revolution.

A lot of the time users don't have to pay for upgrades/updates, that also helps a great deal
The most likely reason is parallel loading of scripts, which the older browsers of the competition don't have and IE8 does.
Can I also suggest to use the full path of cat ? That also seems some extra checks. :-)
Well, maybe someone did a recompile of the one that was available for SunOS (or was it Solaris ?) that used to exist.
I suggest you use the Firefox daily snapshot or beta, it works a lot better. It was actually compiled with the use of profile guided optimization
That was exactly my idea, the simplest reason is probably because IE8 was the only browser in the test that supports parallel loading of scripts:

Actually on Ubuntu you have: in the internet-catagorie: pidgin internet massenger
I don't think that's to bad, really.
It's probably the same in Windows or Linux, install VLC and be done with it. If that really doesn't work you use mplayer.
16U of rackspace in total: 8 HP MSA with each 12x750GB harddisks (which I think you might be able to buy second hand).
Yes, that would be a really good idea actually.
It's not uncommon for people to get a STD because their spouse sleeps around.
