Question, why do they have to because someone wants them too? GASP, what if they don't feel the same way as the study in question. Just because someone throws out a bunch of arguments/statistics against something, does not make it fact.

Just kidding, this is exactly the kind of thinking that Linux needs. I think Linux flavors for the most part, need to suck up their pride and do things MORE like windows. When they have a system that more and more people use, THEN they can start "innovating" new technologies/different ways of doing things.
Bing! Right on the mark. I've been playing with Linux (hobby) for over four years now, dabbling with Mandrake, various versions of Red Hat,FreeBSD, and Morphix. Why is it that the only flavor of linux that I have found, just to do the Office Basics (Word/Spreadsheets/Email/Web Browse/Chat/IM) came out of a very obscure Morphix package (Light Gui Module). I think if someone where to grab this package, create a very simple install process, add a few simple admin tools for file sharing, and create a VERY VERY easy to use update client, and market the hell out of this as a business ready version, Linux would overtake the desktop in a matter of a year or so. I understand that most distributions don't care what most PHB's think and in most cases, it is not their problem.
In order for Linux to succeed on the desktop, someone will have to make it their problem. Most businesses don't have the time or resources to have to fiddle around with config files, when they add a new hardware device to their system. The old adage still applies to Desktop Linux: "So close, yet so far away".
1.) All code must be placed on a single line. 2.) No comments are necessary...they take up space. 3.) When in doubt, use a com object reptitively. 4.) When in doubt, abbreviate. getFormName, should be: getFormName. 5.) Safe threading is for cowards. Let the threads duke it out...Its the manly way. 6.) Try not to use "if" or "for" statements. They take too much time.

Good point and I would agree, however you were there to install it and fix it (I too, am tech support to my wife:-) ).
Playing devil's advocate, could the average user, find/install new programs easily? Could they setup new devices that just came on the market? Could they keep their system up2date easily? Could they setup their mail settings (imap/pop3 server) without too much problem?

As per the DVDs, how do you know if the show is good to actually buy/rent the DVD?
I think you a person can waste just as much time watching movies all day on DVD as they can on primetime.

Huzah! Good for you.
Although I don't know if "drinking" and spending the "$50/month" on prostitutes is really the way to go.
Just kiddin.

Nothing like a quick snipe at your targetted audience. Culteral divide getting wider??? Nah.

Good GOD! What about Jay-walking?
Yeah, its going to be annoying for the French users. Everytime they log in, a white flag is displayed on the screen and the kernel panics.
Dammit man, thats the combination to my luggage! (Spaceballs).
In Soviet Russia, your post is funny.

Cmon people...Start Training the BOFH way!

"Microsoft needs women. I repeat, Microsoft needs women!".
Nope, I distinctly remember them saying there is NO smoking in the bathroom.
Yeah, that wouldn't look suspicious at all either... Carying a big bulky bag with wires coming out of it, into the bathroom.
Especially when you are always running on Budget.
But hey, its only tax payer money. They don't have any say where it goes anyways.
Or, have the machines, escaped from the Matrix? huh? Huh?
Do you have a job and family to support?
As long as it was not "Bucky's" balls. That would be too disturbing.
Geeze George, why are you posting as a Coward? Or is this Dick in an undisclosed location?
Interesting though, its "Shareware". Always thought it was free.

Yeah, but does it run on Windows?
Dude that's rough, calling your daughter less stupid.

I wouldn't label KaliforniAaaa as a normal "state" though.
I don't mean to be cruel, but this is why your job is going to be exported. If its the same thing everyday, with no creativity, anyone can do it.
