I'm curious... when you do the patching by hand, applying them one after another, you have to run qchain.exe and then reboot. Does Windows Update do that automatically or will you actually have to reboot between patches?
Ok, I agree with you that it is just as ugly as your ordinary beige box, BUT... it's not a beige box. ASUS tried their best to make a good looking non-beige box... and failed. This thing IMHO is just as ugly as a beige box. I wouldn't want one of these in the living room either.
But the record player and the cd player don't use similar techniques whereas the DVD/CD/HDDVD do use similar techniques and media (i.e. a CD fits in a DVD drive and vice versa)
You're probably right when you're saying that most end-users are not like you (and me) i.e. geek. That also means that most end-users probably won't be installing any extensions whatsoever. Voila 'problem' fixed.
Also, I think the FF userbase is still mostly geeks (and their wiv^H^H^Hgirlf^H^H^H^H^Hfriends and relatives). That's already changing for the better and will hopefully get a huge boost with the ad in the NYT. Still, people who are now happy with IE, probably won't start using extensions when they switch to FF.
You could also combine the two. Create a short range wireless LAN using mesh technology. And connect those short range WLAN's using WiMAX.

Nope, but right after you've installed both, they both won't be there since they cancel one another out.

You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe I presume.

Who's the ignorant elitist here?
If by this you mean lacking the knowledge, then maybe OpenBSD just isn't for you...
