At the very least Congress isn't powerless against the Veto. They can over ride a Presidential Veto if they get enough votes. The trouble is, it's not very easy to do. But at least there is a better chance of that happening with more Democrats holding seats.
I think there is a nitch for Crossover. While many Linux home users don't feel the need to run Windows applicaitons anymore, there are plenty of businesses that feel they need to run MS Office (some even have it as a requirement to do business with others). I think Crossover is a great way to offer a stepping stone for businesses. As in, they can ditch the expensive Windows Operating systems and change to Linux while their users can still use the applications they already know.
In my mind it gives a middle ground step between being 100% Microsoft and changing to 100% Linux/OSS. As in, individual users are very dynamic and can change all their stuff at once if they so choose. Must businesses take things slower and think about making such drastic changes.
Crossover just gives them a stepping stone that breaks a big change into smaller, easier to swallow, chunks. Also, it breaks up the learning curve, it gives users a chance to learn Linux first, then to learn an Office alternative if they so choose.
I've never used Adaware Professional, only the free Adaware. But, according to the info at http://www.lavasoftusa.com the Pro version support network control of Spyware/Adware.
I can't say how easy it is to deploy and manage though.
I think that the content is still there. Just much harder to find because all of it is diluted in porn and ads. I'd guess that 50% of the content on the Net is smut anymore.
Oh I miss the days of typing in what you want to find in a search engine and getting a list of what you want vs the top 100 hits being about how to get off.
