which version of windows has more GUI features than the latest KDE or GNOME?
Without editing files and getting complicated? 95/98/Me/2000/XP/NT 4
Pardon me, but I've used KDE for quite some time now but I never edited a single KDE config file. Since I started using Linux I've done less configuration fiddling than under Windows.
All the other answers are also simply flamebait or plain incorrect (maybe except the hardware thing). For example, BSD 'is' not the only operating system that is more secure than windows.
If all the scheduling stuff that is new in linux has been around for so long in Windows When why does the new Linux kernel run so much smoother than windows on every system I have tried? You would think all the bugs would be worked out by now.
I'd like to especially commend Hewlett-Packard for including LinDVD playback software with this machine. It, too, works right out of the box. When I install Linux on my personal laptops I usually have to buy software to watch a movie.
I found that quote intriguing, as since I don't know a single commercial linux (software) DVD player that has been around for more than half a year are so.
From the MVPs Word FAQ Word, on the other hand, is a series of nesting containers, characters inside words inside paragraphs inside sections inside documents.
Why does that prevent the display of codes, HTML style? HTML is also nothing more than containers in containers.
For example, when the issue of battlefield laptops running Linux came up, the question was asked, are individial soldiers (as end-users) entitled to view and modify the (possibly classified) source code of their apps? Or does that right belong to the military as an abstract legal entity, or perhaps to the contractors who built the hardware?
You are mistaking something. Using Linux doesn't mean all applications that run on it are GPL (it's not that viral;-)).
I don't think so, as since people will now use less electrical cooling methodes so you need to generate less electricity (equals to less cooling needed for the powerplants).
The Apollo heatshield was entierly different stuff. And accident on reentrance is far more likely to be fatal than something like an airleak in a spaceship with multiple compartiments.
...for the patent issue: Open Source's usual strength is its weakness here. Since anyone can look at the source, anyone -- including hostile IP companies -- can fairly easily find infringing code
Which also means that if a company comes in with a patent infringement in the linux kernel after several years, they have been neglecting this fact. Would that hold "in court" ?

...as since the ActiveX thingy is not propperly signed.
The exploit still works under XP SP2. At least the file was dropped there into my startup menu.

Faster boot times
Video drivers will be pushed into userspace (finally)
No not 'finally', more like '(back) again'...
Not that it isn't a good thing.

Or am I the only one who read that?

Firefox/0.9.3 here, still there...
don't know what websites you're using that don't render under Gecko properly
What about Slashdot?
Never had this odd thing that the left bar overlaps the comments?
Make your point or don't. No, none of Google's desktop applications are cross platform. So?
But they do have an open interface/API.
We have some algorithms in our lab for the new nVidia cards that can only be run in a Windows environment.
Do you, by accident, know why?

last.fm sells MP3s, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files of some of the music they 'broadcast'.

From what I've learned neural networks miss the hormones a human (or animal) has. Things the adrenaline, etc. These influence the brain pretty much.

And those shuttle crews always knew that. The shuttle couldn't somehow 'magicly' be safer to launch and use than unmanned spacecrafts.
Uhm, just like the workers who applied asbestos are to blame for all the lungcancer it caused? Uh?
It was just their job, and nobody knew it was bad.
All I know is that tiles of the heat shielding fall off about every flight. So probably that number is right.
... the computer went all beep beep beep?

No, it's Akamai that has wicked bandwidth...
