In software business it's all about implementing the 10 or 20 things users want to do with their computers, so i don't expect very much "really new" software, be it OS or CS, since VisiCalc and Mosaic:-)
I think the whole point is that Orkut.com seems to be in English, and considering that.com is supposed to be American, I think that it would makes sense that the common language be English.
Nice try, but wrong.
USA is supposed to be in.US
Commercial entities are supposed to be in.COM
There is no.AM for "American" -.AM is Armenia
Call me pedantic, but.com is not.us:-)

"640 Kilobyte ought to be enough for anybody" Quote from Bill Gates from 1981 according to the book "Computers - An Illustrated History" from Christian Wurster
So what happens in a few years time when StorageTek stop supporting the hardware and a business still has data they need to recover from an old tape but they don't have a working tape drive?
It shouldn't happen - the business should have thought about that already. But reality and idealism don't always meet...
... and when they decide to stop doing support/maintainance you can kiss your data good bye.
If this decision is being upheld, they successfully
prevent anyone else from helping you
prevent anyone from learning how to help you
starve out any competition (even if you're allowed to recover your data years later - there will be no one left with the knowledge how to do it)
Good luck recovering your data then.

If you need your "free" backup sever after 18 months without any network connection (updates, security patches and application changes) and then attach it to the internet you might be not so happy with the results.
Sasser & Co would eat you alive before you could even say "Hell, where's the Windows Update Button ?" or "Why is this crashing ? We installed the fix for the application 6 months ago!".
Hopefully MS will allow network connections for updates. It would probably be cheaper to have a license ready instead of burning the "Update DVDs Du Jour" just in case you need it.

C# is basically Java with some nice libraries, and not C++ and for sure not Visual Basic at all.
when the OSS community has stolen everything under the sun.
Of course Microsoft invented the GUI, menus, browsers, print dialogs and everything else... NOT.
Ever heard of Xeorx Parc, X11, Apple Lisa and MacOS, DR GEM, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga ?
Some of us used a GUI when Windows (remember 1.03?) still was a wet dream of Bill G.
Probably the only "invention" of Microsoft in this context - and i still refuse to see any invention in the integration of two tasks into one piece of software - was the "integrated filesystem/net browser" (hello Apple, hello Netscape) , everything else was borrowed from the projects listed above.
You're probably too young to remember the beginnings of Windows, but some of us remember 1.03 (let's borrow some ideas from apple, cerox et al.), 2.10 (let's borrow some more ideas from apple and allow overlapping windows), 3.0 (the apple trashcan looks nice, let's have one too), 3.11 (Novell does nice networking, BSD has a nice TCPIP stack - let's borrow some more), etc.
In the world of software it should be like in the world of sciences, medicine, mathematics, etc. - you use other people's work and othe people use yours. just give credit where it's due and dont't pretend you did all the work on your own.
"If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants." --Isaac Newton
At least the OS community does not pretend to have invented "the world and everything" , admits to be "standing on ye shoulders of Giants", and they allow, enjoy and encourage others to stand on their shoulders and build a better world.

Are you sure about that consensus you mention ?

Good luck recovering your data then.
So there's no chapter in DMCA about
- owner's rights ?
- rights to recover you own data ?
- create interoperability when needed ?
This law is certainly well thought out.
Very well balanced:
Producer has all rights and consumer has none.
- and in exchange for that -
Consumer has no rights and producer has all.
