The vast majority of people who ride a bus have computer-based content creation as the last thing on their mind. Perhaps you should consider that the market for such a thing is so minute that it's not worth commercial consideration.
Or you are way too picky about what you consider content-creation.
Anything that runs Vista without problem can run Windows 7 even better. In truth, 7 is little more than an optimized and bug-fixed Vista. There were also some UI tweaks (such as defaults for UAC), but those don't really affect performance.
The primary issue is that the Arabs don't want a State! They didn't want it in 1948 and they've rejected every single workable proposal since then. Why do people ignore the fact that had Israel lost the '67 war, for example, that Israel would have been split between Egypt, Jordan and Syria? The Arab countries have no more interest in a Palestinian State than anyone else.
And Palestine is the name given to Israel by the Romans. If anything, a "Palestinian" State would be entirely Jewish!
What a stupid idea. The iPad was intended to be a portable screen for viewing content. Virtually every app (outside of games) is for viewing pre-generated content of some form or another. The iPad was never intended to be a "dynabook" or to co-opt the idea, so how can it be a betrayal?
I have an idea for Kay... build your own damn hardware and write your own damn software. Don't rely on publicly-traded, for-profit companies to execute your "vision".
Wow. You really don't get out much, do you? All sorts of rational people believe things that are unsubstantiated. I bet you believe dozens, if not hundreds of such things. Of course, one could argue whether someone who makes such a ridiculous statement as yours is entirely rational.
There are a dozen or so X servers available for Windows, both free and commercial. If your only choices are cygwin and a VM, you are incompetent. Perhaps you should be fired.
That's basically irrelevant and only limits the number of pixels that can be attached and refreshed at a decent rate. In other words, it only limits monitor resolution and refresh rate.
You say that you install an X server on your Windows machines, but something think that Wayland will be a problem? Are you even running Linux locally? And rdp depends way less on bitmap transfers than any modern X application. You seem illogical and clueless both.
Your inability to comprehend the written word is exceeded in magnitude only by your selfish bitching about stuff that doesn't matter to real people. Seriously, if you don't like Wayland, don't use it. No one is taking anything away from you. They might be diverting resources from future development that would benefit your little niche, but too fucking bad. People working for free or for others don't have to give a shit about what you care about.
Instead of bitching, why don't you join the XOrg team to ensure that sufficient development resources are available? Obviously the answer is that you are a selfish shitface who would rather complain about other people wanting different things and leaving you in the cold. How about a simple put up or shut-up?
Or they are normal people who only have one system, only connect remotely to email and web servers, and don't give a shit about you, your systems or your stupid X applications.
Mostly it's because it's built into the Window Manager (GDI), so you can streamline the data that needs to be sent. Now-a-days, X is nothing more than a (remote) screen buffer. Clients send full pixmaps instead of drawing commands. RDP can paint your typical window by sending the commands that were invoked by the app, instead of a full bitmap of the window. Obviously this doesn't work for everything. Try playing a DirectX game over RDP.
X for server environments? What a waste. If you can't do it on the command-line, it's not worth doing. Why? Because you want to be able to script it. X for dealing with remote servers is a claim made by idiots who read the "Become a Unix Admin in 24 Hours" book.
Naturally most of Jobs' public comments were marketing hyperbole. His job and his passion were designing and promoting Apple products. Only a fool would expect him to endorse something he didn't believe was right. This story, though, is a classic what-if. Before the iPad, the current tablet market did not exist. There is no way to know if the current market would exist if the first iPad screen was smaller than 9.7" diagonal. Thus, it is impossible to answer the question posed. We cannot know if Jobs was wrong.
Red Hat maintains its own kernel. They can put whatever they want in it. Linus maintains his own kernel, and if people want to try and force him to include things, they have another thing coming. I don't know why that's so hard to understand. No one uses Linus's branch of Linux because they have to.

That might have been funnier if it were not the fact that just about every single hole-in-the-wall pizza joint in Israel offers delivery.

Ethnic cleansing? There are somewhere around a billion Arabs in the ME. I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.
You are a near-sighted idiot. Terminal is one program of many that are part of OS X. As the GP wrote, practically nothing.

What do you expect from the Terrorist State Agency?
9/11 was the final battle against the terrorists. The terrorists won.
Before we had the phone, there was no way to hangup at all! Let's lament the lack of smacking someone on the face and stalking off!

Can't move a frozen application? Are you one of the poor losers stuck on XP?

Anyone who isn't using a command-line over an SSH connection to remotely-administer a Unix machine is a complete and total idiot.

So security wasn't important to you. Apparently it's still not. Good to know.
So go do it yourself, you nitwit, NON-programmer piece of shit.
Three decades of Windows use proves you 100% wrong. On the other-hand, no enterprise actually uses Ubuntu, so it doesn't matter what they run.
