Especially if Microsoft sells them at or below cost so as to get people interested kind of like amazons does with their kindles and kindle fire expecting people to spend money on apps and make up their profit there.
If Linux ever comes to dominate the desktop it'll be in some form that just comes out of nowhere the way Android did* and made Linux a huge force in the mobile space. Windows would be a lot harder to displace than the iPhone though.
*Yes to people on here Android was old hat by the time it actually appeared but to most consumers it just appeared out of nowhere one day in 2008.
thats just it to all of us here on slashdot, we already know all about ubuntu but the general average joe still doesn't and only sees windows and mac if the OEMS where to make a successfully push, (not like they did with halfbaked netbook crap that was only there to kill vista and let them keep selling xp) it would seem, like android, to be this new wonderful system for you average user.
way more pragmatic answer, if they switch to wayland they will piss of valve who is working on porting their games onto ubuntu. they piss of valve there will be no games, as a consequence there will be no year of the linux desktop for a long time. linux as a big force in the desktop space is ubuntu's goal. so no xserver means no valve means no steam no games and now no games.
my laptop when unpluged usually tels me any where from 2 minutes to 2450 days of charge remaining i ignore it completely. i think you got every one of those dead on.
What would be there reason for dropping you? They were the ones who's software was snooping, and there software had bugs in it. Your packets are not meant for them anyway. And why are they inspection you packets anyway.
and they had those same few thousand years. in fact since it is believed that we all came from africa to begin with they have had even longer to work on the problem
In theory, you should be able to give your flow chart or psuedocode to any programmer of just about any language and they should be able to write the code for you - or vice versa if someone gives you psuedocode you should be able to code in the language you use.
please show me a flow chart for a kernal, or a modern 3d game engine complete with ai. now write it in basic...
Java on windows. i have to go clean computers regularly and remove old java installs and then install the new java. not all software updates as nicely as linux it dose on linux
windows store will only support WInRT style programs til cold hard reality comes up and bitch-slaps them in the face. then they will support them and screw over valve. that slap may come in the form of seeing valve rake in money, or people calling them up and screaming them out because their win32/win64 apps won't restore, or any of number of other causes or combinations of all of them. valve stands to gain a whole lot from this in until ms pulls the rug out from under them. they will probably have a metro app for their own store as well as a traditional version. the metro version would on a system restore reinstall all of your programs probably the win 32/64 apps as well.
from what i understand the kernel and innards are a hybrid of BSD and the Mach mircokernal,with a few gnu utils thrown in. Where the gui and higher level stuff is NeXSTEP based with some old mac OS* bits throne in for good measure. OSX is a mongrel really.

while i agree with your calculations i have to say tea would be better for Portland it being the home of stash tea, and tazo. If your going to name a Pacific Northwest city known for coffee it should have been Seattle they are the home of Starbucks, Seatles Best, and Tully's coffee.

no we grudgingly accept the french to. oh and the italians because they have great food.

no they simply aren't using those dracomian laws and can be downloaded without fear of the men in black SUV's and helicopters busting down your doors
Hey where is the linux client for that. oh wait...
creative commons, gnu gpl, lgpl, bsd, all of these are in no way draconian.
my laptop when unpluged usually tels me any where from 2 minutes to 2450 days of charge remaining i ignore it completely.
i think you got every one of those dead on.
you just broke the first rule of it in saying so

oh no that would mean they would have to invest in infrastructure
dotnet was there baby now WinRT with HTML5/CSS/Javascript is the baby. wait a week qt might be next
and they had those same few thousand years. in fact since it is believed that we all came from africa to begin with they have had even longer to work on the problem

automatic updating - most software does this.
Java on windows. i have to go clean computers regularly and remove old java installs and then install the new java. not all software updates as nicely as linux it dose on linux

why zynga didn't just build mobile apps is beyond me.
you mean gnu/gnome/linux
other wise go get you own kernel.
gnome is a gnu project.
It all starts to make since now don't it.

if you want rooms you could always try installing ms bob on wine. :-P
He isn't really high flying he has been under house arrest in England for quiet a while
it is when what you want is funding.
