Company X makes game Y. Game Y doesn't sell well (because of heavy piracy), Company X's reputation suffers due to making a game that didn't recoup the losses from development.
The people who worked at Company X making game Y lost "precious hours of life" creating something that few paid for.
There. Analogy better now?
Yes, the people who created the game don't benefit at all from the sales. Nor do other players since higher sales means "yes please make more of this kind of game". Nope, buying games is for suckers.
Yes the same thing has happened to movies. As we've seen there, deep thought provoking movies never come out anymore. It's all 90 min of "Ass". No Precious nor The Hurt Locker or anything ever again.
Unless the GP is homosexual I think he'll take less sex over plenty of gay sex.
Nonetheless I think he needs to explain to his wife why he's constantly in gay bars
"everything not-Windows?", so Microsoft wouldn't mind if you ran OOo on Windows then. Or do you mean any product other than Windows? In that case they should attack their own product, Office, since it's not Windows.
The only ones 'truly in a position to change things' are those with large sums of money. Those with large sums of money are the one that don't want to change things.
So you'd find a constant upgrade to Linux + WINE worthwhile to get more (but not yet 100%) compatibility. Yet Windows 7 isn't a worthy upgrade when it DOES offer 100% compatibility?

The Government should just ban all cars. That will eliminate car-related fatalities 100%
When they do go for it and are STILL unsuccessful, then they're just fed the line "oh it won't happen when you're looking for it..."
So basically we'll have to wait until April 2014 (or possibly shortly after) when an unpatched vulnerability is found and there's a Y2K like panic?
Your beef seems to be with H.264, not a plugin-less web experience

That's clearly fake. It's dated in the future!
WOOSH

I wouldn't say Chrome has "NO FEATURES", just that it doesn't have the particular features you're looking for.
Linux seems to have the downside of making you reply in the wrong topic

Right because none of this ever happened with a 'blue' majority... oh wait, yes it did.
HTML5? Wouldn't that train run over IE7 and IE8 as well?

Too bad such a person would never be elected, and even if they were, would immediately be bought and paid for once entering office.

It will be the year of Linux on the desktop when Linux on the desktop is advertised on TV.
