The opposite has been true for many years, in fact it's still very difficult to buy a notebook for running linux without chalking up a windows sale.
One must also consider, the low price versions can only be low-priced because they don't ship with the microsoft tax. It's your choice not to use the shipped linux afterwards, but that's what freedom affords you.
They'll store it as static on balloons by rubbing them vigorously, then the balloon will be popped and fall back to earth to be discharged. Replacement baloons will float up to the generator by using helium.
You set root to a strong password, seal it in an envelope and put it in the safe. Then limit root access to sudo, make sudo.log append only using the various methods available to your particular flavour.
Yeah efficiency is red-herring FUD when it comes to the extreme amount of solar energy hitting the Earth. It's like saying it's inefficient to drink from Niagra Falls with a cup.
Don't block the requests, the requester IP is spoofed so that DNS servers which respond with root hints forward them to the innocent party, causing DoS. Vlocking the IP just blocks the innocent party's DNS servers. Just make sure that you don't respond external recusive queries.
The last time console-computers were the rage, this style of keyboard was referred to as "chiclet" and was derided far and wide. What next, rubber chiclet?
What you have described is "free beer" source code; code used at no cost without contribution. That is not freedom, that is not much better than free beer like Opera.
So it's not Vista that is slow, it is Vista that is slow? You can't say the kernel's fine it's just all the shipped crap slowing things down, when there's no alternative to not having the crap. Vista is a horse's ass.
The problem with Apple and Microsoft is that they can't please everyone. Sure there has to be progress, but with proprietary platforms the user has no choice and is forced to follow the vendor.
With free software we have a choice and don't have to move. If I were so inclined I could still support apps on Debian 1.3 with Linux 2.0.34 and libc5, even though there's not much reason to I could pay developers to keep me alive and running on modern hardware. Sure it's a fringe case, but nobody's forcing me to do anything.

That doesn't make it any smarter. How about a simpler commodity design which is scalable and backwards compatible, like Nintendo's.

I've got a license here which does exactly what you want. What's your offer? Don't bother if it's not five figures.

That's the problem with being intelligent: you'll always be in the minority and thus always at the mercy of the tyranny of the masses.
Do you think a current i7 would compare to what you will buy for $300 in two years' time? In three years a laptop would be faster.
Uranium is non-renewable energy. It would deplete very quickly if world usage were ramped and it's peak even is not to far away.

Just look at a windows system:
- Random dlls, configs, assets and exes in WINDOWS dir.
- dlls, data, configs and exes in Program Files.
- Some data and configs in Documents and Settings.
- Registry.
There's no getting past the single user heritage.
Realistically, running in a non-admin account is a pain in the ass. ...in Windows.

Humans have exactly the same probability of being the first as being the last or anywhere in between.
A better counter is not to click links posted by anonymous idiots.

That's the folly of closed-source software.
The scenarios you described are less the fault of Windows and more due to the fatal flaw in the proprietary software model.

Every app you listed is already available on Linux with better integration and stability. Except for DVDshrink which works fine under Wine.
Slashdot has ads now?
By the time windows 7 is out in 2011 the low end will be eight core with heavy system integration, like Sparc is now.
Every windows PC is one hour away from being a Ubuntu system.
If you're running closed-binary software and it runs perfectly fine, who cares if you require and api-translation? What does it matter to you?
