It is going to take a lot longer than one year to convince the public that a 22 year dog has learned new tricks especially when everybody knows that dog for it's tricks.
Who said anything about MS, but since you brought it up, remember this little news flash: http://news.com.com/MS+to+invest+150+million+in+Ap ple/2100-1001_3-202143.html. Make sure you put the event in perspective: http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?pg=qu&sid=60 9&symb=AAPL&time=10yr&uf=0. Apple users should be a little bit more gracious towards the company that lend a helping hand in time of need. Imagine if Gates would have bought Apple and turn it into MS Windows' Screen Saver department. The world would be spared from all the FUD about all the FUD anytime anybody dares to say anything about Apple, and Windows would probably have a better GUI.
What I was trying to say is that we are buying a lot, and I mean a lot of machines (every 3 years), and the lowest price is around $625. Much more than a measly $300, and of course less then "Mac someone quoted at $800".
But even if Apple were $300, I don't think the bulk-buyers are willing to embrace a one button mouse;) Thank god.
$675 is the lowest my institution (a very large state institution using a "State Aggregated Purchase Initiative"/Contract) pays for a for a GX620-820/1GRam/80GSata/16xDVD+/-RW/17inch/XPPro/3 yLimWar.
How big should the "bulk" be to get a $300 machine?
Usually I come in late in the game when the customer is already unsatisfied, and most of the time for very good reasons. I don't know who you're dealing with or at what stage in the game you enter, but none of my customers are in any position to judge my competence in my expertise, otherwise they wouldn't require my help. I do know people who can judge my competence in my expertise, but they are not my customers
"I have a customer who claims that the product we delivered them was slow and unresponsive. However, when we tested it to try and determine what was wrong, we didn't find anything wrong with it."
I had a similar experience last year. Two months of debating and hair pulling with a major hosting company over the meaning of slow, and "anything wrong". In the end we did agree that a 2K/s for static pages, and.2K/s for dynamic pages should fall under unresponsive, unresponsive should fall under "something" wrong, and something wrong especially for a commercial website leads to a very unsatisfied customer.

The ads might not come from a local database, but think of how many unwanted ads you get to see regardless if you want to or not (billboards, train-ads, TV, magazines, web (yes I know about Fedora's abilities)). What is a few more ads, and you actually get something in return.

Ironic, since just a few months ago, I sat in a departmental meeting and argued about infusing technology in the SCIENCE department at one of the senior CUNY colleges. But before infusing anything into the Science Department, first the department has to justify to the higher-ups at CUNY why Science should not be taught laboratory-less=science-for-poets.
What I'm curious about is if the non-native resolutions look like crap.

Or that job is left for the monkeys banging on the keyboards.
o.k. my mistake... rather than researching slower floating devices, research should be concetrated on near-future under-water living.
But don't worry, at that point, humanity will adapt, considering our ancestors were very good swimmers.
I wonder if research in slower floating devices wouldn't be more appropriate considering that in a few hundred years everything would be under water.
