I think the difference is that with Windows, you have to install updates from Microsoft via one method, updates to Adobe software via another method, updates to Firefox by another method. Lots of things for the user to learn, there isn't just a click one thing and it updates everything.
My Linux box on the other hand, does have quite a few updates, and requires updating often, but, it's just one interface to update everything, including from third party vendors (i.e. Adobe)
If you would be willing to reconsider your choice of OS, you might be able to get what you need very easily. Nearly everything on a Linux server can be managed via a SSH connection.
If Windows is a must, you might still be able to get the advantage of the unix terminal interface via CygWin, and manage the servers via SSH.
64 bit support being paid attention to by Adobe... Right now there is no x86_64 version of Adobe Flash Player for any OS.
And btw. The piece of code that is the major stumbling block for a x86_64 build of Flash Player has been open sourced... http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/
Not real fun change to have to deal with. Especially on the MS machines. I don't believe MS issued any patches for the change, just a post on how to change your timezone setting manually (which is all fine and good, except for applications that store the timezone with entries)
Which has a worse effect on the economy? Think about it for a sec... It increases costs of R&D of consumer electronics, it delays to market consumer electronics. It makes so only a select few can market products that will play the content. It makes the hardware more expensive. It decreases the size market that might buy the content.
So, IMHO, the simple solution to this is de-peer Bell South. I'm sure they will change there tune VERY quickly once there customers start complaining they can't get anywhere on the internet. The Tier 1 providers have already proven they will de-peer a network over a disagreement.
Vonage, and VOIP services like them, expect (and say in most cases) that the customer is responable for providing the pipe, and paying for it. So, SBC should charge the VOIP customer for the pipe usage, oh wait, they do.
Put a standard incandescent light bulb in the case, it should be able to produce enough heat. Maybe have it switched with a thermal switch like http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T043/1075.pdf. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have the case fans switched with thermal switches as well (since you still want them half of the year). Don't forget to use a relay with the thermal switch & light bulb.
Having my own 2-year-old entropy generator running amok. I recommend against anything wireless for your input devices. That is if you ever want to be able to find them, and you don't want them to take baths.
I too am in the I/T field, and have noticed some tenderness in my mouse hand off and on for the past several years. I don't really want the surgery. I have found that wearing a wrist brace off and on as needed (mostly off), and using a ergo-mouse pad and ergo keyboard have helped significantly, if not all but made it go away. Just my experience anyways.

Here are some example counties with online GIS:

Exactly my point. . . If Windows had a unified update system, you wouldn't have that problem.
But, every app that needs an update system installs it's own.

Is far as I know, the primary hold up for a Adobe 64 bit flash plugin, is already open sourced.

Indiana used to not honor DST, now we do :(
