Just think about it. You don`t even know what the heck is "Control Panel", how would you know how to change the refresh rate? I tried to run Windows in an old 14' monitor, and guess what? I had a bad time doing it, because Windows thought my monitor supported 1024x768. It just REFUSED to let me change the resolution. So, I had to plug another monitor, change the resolution, and plug my old one back.
BTW, I just can't play most of the games in Windows XP, because my Savage4 video isn't very good. Fortunately, I don't buy games I'm not COMPLETELY sure I can run. And, unfortunately, many times, when you can't run something in Windows, you JUST CAN'T, period.

IMportant question: If Flash costs money,how is it supposed to be a standard? I mean, I'm not the one that's going to pay for it just because Macromedia thinks it's the future. I like Flash sometimes, but it's rather irritating, because, IMHO, it sacrifices the usability of any site just because of some nifty features. I prefer well-organized text and cool graphics.

- Internet: It allows people to d/l copyrighted files.
- Computers: They think it's a big problem, because it's an easy way for people do exchange music.
- Human Being: The main target. Human beings are able to develop new ways to get copyrighted music without their permission, so, everyone should be banished from earth.
- Earth: All the natural resources for the human being comes from Earth. It's their way to survive. So, RIAA will want to destroy it.

My question is: DID THEY GENERATE PROFIT FROM SUCH SERVICES?
I know they had services available, but not a single paid service. So, they said that was going to be their profit source, . AFAIK, you can get money from services, but not from free services.
So, having services doesn't mean Eazel was going to be profitable. It's like Nokia giving away their cell phones, start charging for services, but without offering a paid service at all. It's so obvious that even you, my dear genius, should've noticed.
------------------------------------------------
You think Bill Gates is evil?
Ok, I know they had services.
But I'm talking about PAID services! Online storage and software upgrade weren't paid. So, where could they get some money from? PLEASE, think about it, don't just say "you're a retard".
Let me give you and example. Let's suppose Nokia gives away their cell phones, saying they will generate profit from paid services. It's okay, the cell phones are really cool, there are already free services for it, but not a single paid service. How would they get money from? The same thing happened to Eazel.
Got it? Try to understand what people mean before saying "You're retard", "So's your momma". ----------------------------------------- -------

Nautilus not not vapourware. It's very good, indeed (I like it).
All I said was that Eazel had to give people services. That was supposed to be their profit source, and you can't just release a software and get money from something that doesn't exist.
If you say your profit source is XXX, you'll need XXX or else you'll be f***ed up.
------------------------------------------------
You think Bill Gates is evil?
I guess you didn't get it. I didn't say they were doing nothing. In fact. I like Nautilus a lot, and I use Gnome 1.4.
They said: "we're gonna get money from services!". But they forgot to make such services AVAILABLE, that's the whole point. It wasn't Nautilus the profit source, but its services.
Please, try to understand what people say before being so rude. ------------------------------------------------
You think Bill Gates is evil?
is that they wanted to start earning money from services, but we didn't see any services at all. How can you say you're going to get money from something yet to be made? ------------------------------------------- -----
You think Bill Gates is evil?
Because you can get other people's code, but you have to give them something back. If you patent a software, you'll be able to make everyone think your code is free, and after some time you sue everyone using your software for patent infringement. ------------------------------------------------
You think Bill Gates is evil?
So what?
Just because it may violate the law it actually restricts my freedom? In fact, it just prohibits you from getting a GPL'ed code, adding some more lines of code and then closing the source, like many people would *LOVE* to do. Doesn't the guy that made the code FREE have any reason to prevent you from doing that?

You're talking about different things here. FSF just thinks closed standards are bad to the software industry, because computers are not cars, You CAN see what's inside your car, and other people MAY fix it. IT IS NOT COMMUNIST, it's just a different concept for software development.
The Software industry is quite different from the others.
