More than likely, public services and government types get their maps directly from a survey company, with some kind of explicit promise against honey-roads... Still, it would hurt the smaller towns and anyone who couldn't afford the premium "non-fake" maps.
except... you can't remove IE, just the shortcuts to it. Same with all the other MS crap, even with SP1... now whenever www.litepc.net gets around to releasing their stuff, things might change for the better, but that'll be from a 3rd party utility. some pieces it's fairly easy to remove by editing, say, the sysoc.inf file, but most windows components, especially IE, cannot be removed as long as Windows uses the fancy "web view" "active desktop" shell. To make windows non-integrated, they would either have to go back to the Win95/NT4 shell, or do a complete rewrite.
yea, it used to be buggy a while back but i have had very very good luck, and improving luck at that with more and more recent installer builds of it...
if anybody looked at the screenshot for their "NeoNapster" gnutella client, it's a rip of GNUCleus as well... not that there isn't a precedent of it, with say, the Morpheus Preview Edition... these guys need to burn in the depths of firey oblivion!
Well... If you want to know a way to use MS OSes without selling your soul to Mr. Satan, do what I do (when i'm not in Debian, that is...):
1. Use a simple Windows base... no XP/2000, just use Straight Clean Win95OSR2/NT4+mebbe some SPs here and there
2. Use some good clean OSS win32 compiled apps: Apache, Gimp/Win32, Mozilla, Abiword, all come to mind. Everything else that matters comes with Win95 (Calc, Sol, Minesweeper, and a non-IE explorer (rocks!))
3. Make your mouth form an Evil Grin (c) as you pop your Half-Life cd in and download WinAmp:)
