Come on, they're trying to do that for years now (at least since win98). The analog audio output on cd-rom drives is a bad idea anyway. The audio cable is unshielded and running right through the em-noise that's in your pc, possibly ruining your audio clarity. At least they're trying to do something about this...
Actually, my experience with the XS4ALL guys is that they are a bunch of clueful people who won't suddenly decide all mail from a certain region is spam. Also, they don't have to block it; I'm currently using a mail account with spambox - all blocked mail can be downloaded separately, so I don't lose a thing and I won't have to sift through spam in my inbox.
But as M$ has shown, people will stick with whats bundled, even if inferior, 'cause "its just easier that way"...
Which can be correct for consumer software, but we're talking about software developers now. If Xerces/Log4J are really that much better (read: save my time when developing) I will certainly take 5 minutes to download them.
Mozilla _does_ use GTK for low-level drawing. Reason why it's so slow is the system on top of it (rendering, XUL etc). Besides that, did you profile both toolkits for your CPU/memory conclusions?
very simple reason to use ogg:
when developing an application where audio compression is needed (voip, game sound etc) you need to pay to use the mp3 codec. ogg is good for small developers...
I guess Adobe tech support got quite some calls for support for their "Illustrator on KDE Linux" port... Big company or not - I'd be upset too if my software got a bad name due to an unrelated program.
Why did the KDE folks choose such a similar sounding name in the first place?
Or go to the store and buy a pc/mac with this configuration right now instead of waiting until Amiga ships and this config is as obsolete as a 1992 ami...

Try to compile the nVidia driver on a Linux 2.5 kernel and come back please...
Funny how people jump to the conclusion "it's slow - it must be java"...

Maybe because I don't have a fast machine?
An office suite doesn't have to try to keep up with security for third-party executable code,
An office suite also has to be secure, just ask anyone who got bitten by a macro virus recently...

MESA/DRI are installed with X4 by default. Most distributions enable 3d by default on the DRI supported cards. What's your problem?
Maybe because there are other video cards than nvidia using AGP in Linux which have the same problems?
Then why did the implement this feature in the first place?

Considering that most shared libraries are only loaded once I don't think it's that much of a problem...

Well... since there are no Athalon processors I'd think the Octane 2 systems will perform better 8)
A similarly clocked P3 will eat a P4's lunch because of it.
Yeah... show me where I can buy a stable running 1.7Ghz P3 system then.
I bet that enough users are quite capable of looking up Adobe's number themselves...

When Linus starts thinking about changing boot messages, that must mean the rest of the kernel is perfect 8)

Right. The DRM modules are only available with the source distribution. Too bad you have to download a 25meg tgz for 150k kernel code...
