It depends on the professionals you are talking about. If you ask hard core sysadmin, network people, creatives, and academic, you will most likely heard to hell with Windows, with want Mac. Even my workmates that administer Windows bitch about it, and have Macs at home.
Talk about you want about entreprise having an hell of a time. In the academic world, Mac rules, and even in my faculty in Europe, we estimate makes are roughly 30-40% of the equipment people bring to work, just to avoid use Windows in their assigned desktop. We also have a lucky few that have corporate Macs, and thats growing by the day. These people will actually move to the enterprise sector, with their Mac culture. Cisco, a giant, is keeping tight lipped about Mac being more than 50% of their corporate environment, and when you are hired they let you actually choose between a Mac notebook or a "regular" notebook. So you say, "good luck"?
Ever you ever heard of Apple and Linux? I maybe a old time that havent used Windows since 1998, however I work in a faculty and we are seeing logs of students using Linux and Macs. Each time I go to the communal/study areas, there are more Macs. It is actually easier to switch to Linux or Mac than to adapt to all changes between Windows versions.
First, every time I hear computers get infected, or whatever, I wanna cry. There have been people using Mac and Linux for decades now.
Then obviously this is advertisement... mod this article down, please.
Let me clarify. The salt is our tables is not real salt. A bleached mix of sugar, and salt and several chemicals. Anti-caking agents. And plus, in northern countries, they mix iodine with it, as a form of thyroid prevention.
Gave a Mac to my father, setup a linux Debian 7 in the infected computer of girlfriend. Problem solved. People use mostly the browser and skype. The browser works quite the same, except it got no virus.
Quick, be an idiot and pay $800 for a $50 - $200 tablet instead of downloading backtrack and using it in a cheap notebook or even your old notebook you dont use anymore...
They dont want you to have your "own" digital library because you can "pirate" it to your family and friends, or watch it countless times. The fact is that they want to sell you and your famility multiples times the same content, and we have seen it in the past, only this time it is worse. In the past they were limited to collect a fee each time the format "changed", VHS->Laser Disc,Video CD,DVD,Bluray...Now they want to collect a fee *everytime* you watch it again. The fact is, you dont own the content anymore. I even suspect Youtube for free is just in reality a big experience of changing the mindset of masses to not be used to own the content and see it as many times as they see fit, without using a Internet connection.
Pity I have just spent my mods points for my fellow country man. I used to be the one top-man, one star show of an ISP, and they actually dared to threaten me whilst in Angola, because I didn't see fit to stay there when they didnt provide me nice accommodations, and just returned the Portugal. I threatened to resign, but didnt follow on it, because the pay was beyond good. Didnt manage to get another job in two years with better pay, and after two years they found a replacement and sent me way without due notice. Ah, and they even get to complain that my salary and privileges was a BIG chunk of almost 1% of the net income they had. Portuguese dont value people who are an asset to their organizations, period.

Lets hope this article is just a marketing scheme. Anyway, in case it is genuine:
Somebody has been freeloading, so what? You have got two options:
1) upgrade your security. double up encryption with MAC authorization. Hide your SSID. Maybe even going to digital certificates.Use only encrypted communications protocols. Many other options. Many time invested.
2) Setup a honeypot. Something open or better yet with poor security. Let him break, monitor the activity, eventually you will get a his personal data. Then decide on the course of action.

"austerity" is just another name for greedy politicians digging further into your pocket...
I wont mind talking negatively about android and samsung for free...
But quite sure slashdot doing it.
And that is why, as a European, I dont intend to ever set foot again in the USA. Only if I have to. Amerika is becoming the Iran of the West.
There is no point in using a PGP paid service. The whole point of having privacy is encrypting the email at your end, for it not to be tampered with.
high time
Amerika sucks.
First they register you, then forbid you from expressing your ideas. Censorship coming to the uk. Google TOR
millions Microsoft paid them?
Would it be faster just printing dots (.) ? Our printer is capable of printers x cps.... ;)
How about not using Windows for critical-mission servers?

Is *not* real salt. As usual. Use marine salt and avoid it.

The mini is still inside what people perceive a "lower" budget. Price both the same and came back with this "study"....

I still cant phantom why the ISPs should work for free for the lobbies of the media corporations.
