No, cheaper is to keep an XP partition around for those godawful proprietary formats and websites that require IE and smart-card readers for which no liberated alternative exists.
The other 90% of the time, run something that doesn't draw vacuum.
cheaper to just run vista
...is like saying it's cheaper to keep smoking cigarettes than go through withdrawal. After all, in the long run, we're all dead, no?

I won't lie--when there is printing to do, Redmond products are amply suited to the task.
Of course, in a greener world, we're printing less, but let's face it: quality printing (booklets and stuff) is not exactly a strong suit of Free Software. Which is kind of ironic, as text handling was one of the strong suits of the early Unix.
Oh, MicroSoft got plenty of free press out of the deal, and drew attention away from their odious behavior with ISO over OOXML.
If they acquired Yahoo!, fine, if not, fine.
Roger that. After submitting, it dawned on me that this is an example of confusing stylistic and substantial points.
Just because it drives me up the wall when people toss around absolutes like 'unique' and 'ubiquitous' without considering their actual meaning doesn't make it worthwhile to comment.
Sorry for the bandwidth waste.
Fair enough. It's a stylistic point, and the court of public opinion seems to agree with you.
The phrasing of the OP was strident.
But it is a first post...
Ubiquitous means omnipresent.
English, mon frer, do you speak it?
If you make an intelligent sticky note that's so unique, it's one-of-a-kind, and you put it on Nigel Tufnel's amp, and he cranks it up to 11, will/. editors suddenly become competent?
Captain, Road Prison 36: What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
Legend has it that Vista the Elephant was wandering about on the beach, minding its own business, when it spied a piano on a small island just offshore, at his favorite bar, The Funky Trunk. TFT had a land bridge briefly at low tide, but the water formed a moat to keep out the riff-raff most of the time. The durable unit sat outside on the deck, adjacent the call box. (But don't let the delightfully retro rotary dial, the old style mouthpiece, or the earpiece with the frayed, cloth-covered cord within the weathered, almost out-house-ish callbox distract you from the ivories on the piano, or the ivory on the shore, or you'll screw up the pacing of this admittedly predictable short story).
Something of a piano aficionado , the elephant wandered out to the island to relive an Anderson and Roe moment.
Suddenly, a shark appeared between the elephant and the island, water barely deep enough for the sleek menace to move!
Turning in alarm, the elephant started to move back to the shore. Another shark! What to do? Arriving at full panic, the elephant leapt with stunning mechanical efficiency clear over the first predator, landing in the phone booth.
Now you know the story of how Vista jumped the shark.
The "Fed" is us, smitty. The "State" is us. That was rule one of our Constitution.
Oh, that document?
Consider the 10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Your statement seems to have bulldozed a few elements of the Constitution.
Constitutional bulldozing is not a new sport.
Look at FDR claim to adhere to the Constitution while doing the opposite.
Those who see Bush42 as trampling the Constitution must admit that, compared to FDR, who pushed through Social Security, Bush42 is a rank amateur.

The ignorance of French is a pointer to the non-command of concise English demonstrated in the article write-up.

In a Kafka-esque way, yes.
No, and no.
It's like saying 'ATM machine'.
If you're omnipresent, what more need be said?

You missed the point. This is a stealth ad for twitter and RoR.
Both of which are probably important, albeit not to me.

The global warming of Mars is a guilt we can all so gleefully share.
I'm so happy when I view myself with disgust.
Sort of a Mel Johnson in Total Recall role, without so much condescension?
Mars is a "cautionary tale", not an "inconvenient truth".
Don't make me flog you with a "faustian bargain".
Not if your customer is the governor of NY.
Whereas the pink elephants do a fine ballet, in my field of vision...

Especially with a Master's in Divinity, some opera training, and a leather-clad metal band to back him up.
