Give them time. They're currently the underdog in the desktop market, but that gives them a unique incentive to innovate and drive users to its product.
Don't forget that you are overlapping with public space if you use all of "172.x". Private space in the Class B range is only 172.16.0.0/12, or 172.16.0.0 - 172.13.255.255 (which is 1048576 IPs).

And there is the rub. If you downloaded/borrowed a copy and installed that way -- too bad.
That's not their intention here. Microsoft is going after the local system builders/redistributers who try to save money by preloading pirated copies of Windows on the PCs they sell. They don't care nearly enough about the guy who gave 5 copies to various friends, when you have the guy at Comp-U-Comp down the street that has installed 5000 copies on the computers he sells.
The Toyota Prius was one of the first "drive by wire" cars. When you step on the gas, you are really just telling the computer "go faster". At that point it's up to the computer to determine what do do with each engine (gas and/or electric engines).
It's also tied into the speed limiter, so when you hit 110MPH, it just stops accepting input from the gas pedal, and cruises at 110MPH.
I currently run fluxbox on my P4 laptop (2.6ghz/1GB/60GB). Why? Two things mainly: it literally takes about.5 seconds to start from X init, and BB and its derivatives are very keyboard friendly. I have noticed that when I'm on a laptop with a trackpad, it is much more comfortable to do most of your WM commands by keyboard shortcuts.
If you are interested by this video, check out Andy Hertzfeld's accounts of that presentation. (Andy was one of the developer of the Mac back then.) While you're they're, check out the rest of the Classic Macintosh section of that site. It's a lot of stories (mostly by Andy) of how the Mac came to be.

Updatelet: I decided to go digging around froogle again, and found this. 5-port hub, 6V, 1000mA (most AA batteries around around 2000mAh, so it should theoretically last at least 2 hours). I'm going to order one and do what I did last time. IE, get a 4-port AA battery harness and wire it to the DC in port of the hub.
Even if this works, it would still be nicer to have an "all-in-one" option.
I'm really surprised that none of the manufacturers have tapped this. I want a little 5-port hub that takes a couple AA batteries, that I can throw in my laptop bag and use to do diagnostics (tap an ethernet line, etc). I've tried doing this myself, but most hubs I've found are either insanely high voltages (18.5 or something), or weird tollerances (3.2v, where it won't tollerate 3v or 4.5v), or huge wattage consumption.
I came close with a 5-port linksys "hub" that didn't consume much power and took 7.5v, so I chained 5 AA batteries together in a harness and mucked together a connector. It has a decent battery life (about 3 hours normal use), but the 5-port linksys "hubs" ARE ACTUALLY SWITCHES. Stupid linksys.
Anyways, if you happen to work at a networking manufacturer, lightly suggest to them to produce a small hub with a built-in battery bay that takes 4 AA batteries or something.
For those who don't know (I didn't until recently, and was doing everything manually), when you do "make install", make copies the bzImage into/boot/vmlinuz-VER-EXTRAVER, System.map into/boot/System.map-VER-EXTRAVER, and.config into/boot/config-VER-EXTRAVER.
THEN, it manages symlinks, pointing each respective base name to its newly copied version (IE,/boot/vmlinuz-VER-EXTRAVER to/boot/vmlinuz), it also takes the old symlinks and renames them to, for example,/boot/vmlinuz.old.
This way, I only have 2 linux-related grub images: an image pointing to the/boot/vmlinuz kernel symlink, and an image pointing to the/boot/vmlinuz.old kernel symlink, in case the newly installed kernel doesn't work.

Manufacturers frequently put things like that on packaging to entice the "stupid" users. Picture this thought process:
"Wow, I just bought this new digital MP3 player, now I need to get some good headphones. Hey, this one says it's 'digital ready', while the other does not. I bet this one will work better!"
Granted, not everybody will think that way, but it's enough to get them to put that wording on the packaging. Also, I can't tell you how many network cards and prefab patch cables I've bought in the last couple years that say "DSL/Cable compatible", for the exact same reason.

I think you mean 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
No, I mean the range starts at 172.16.0.0, goes up to 255.255.255.255, wraps around to 0.0.0.0, and continues to 172.13.255.255.
(Thanks)

That's breaking technology alright.
Nonono, "Breaking" is a subcategory to "Technology". So in this case, "Breaking - Technology" is equivalent to "Technology, and breaking shit".
