There is whole lotta other progs like: Morpheus, Gnutella or WinMX and they play fair (all links are reviews). Why should I even consider using something with spyware?

IMHO the main reason is that creation of perfect (or next to perfect) products takes 2x efforts of compromising on average quality. It's like when you spill a sugar on the floor, the most of it you'll be able to grab quickly, but you'll have to work hard for the last ~5% picking it one by one. So did M$, they've compromised on average quality, which results in a typical cheap-mass-product that satisfy needs of average users, a crucial majority of customers. Society got what it deserves.
but I also do not accept the fact that the setup of Netscape 6.2 for Windows spread links to some domain all over the system and, without a single question, install that domain as trusted by Internet Explorer. Whatever they've planned to do being trusted seems to me a bit vulgar.
...that fedz haven't implanted their spyware directly into the Windoze kernel? Perhaps this could explain why US legal system is so tolerant with MS (in exchange for their "services"). And now they leak this info to ensure you that cooperation with McAfee is the most intrusive thing they've ever came up with.
Without loss of generality lets talk about news sites. They won't do it because it requires an amazingly massive migration of nearly all of them together. Otherwise they will loose most of their readers in a blink of an eye. The readers will just prefer those that haven't commercialized like that.
This won't happen so fast technologically. I've made a pretty extensive research at HUJI regarding online / offline micropayments. The bottom line is that due to its nature, monetary transactions are too expensive to allow to sell things less than roughly one dollar. The transaction will cost more than the goods.
I agree as long as you talking about Linux. Nonehteless, apparently, this article was designed to project it on truly exciting field of cluster computing, where it, IMHO, fails.
As for Linux it's simply a tool of choice being among a small number of operating systems able to facilitate such an extensive research that clustering (especially the branch of global computing) necessitates.
Clustering is such a fascinating area on its own and the article is so shallow that I'm curious why they've published it at all. They could mention the potential benefit of cluster computing as well as examples of some working clusters like Beowulf or Mosix or even the famous fact that there is a cluster among top 500 supercomputers.

Yeah, then try to configure DCOM security for out-of-proc server and see that it works only if your DLL is 8.3. Smells like DOS I would say.
You've got it already, it's called MS-DOS
My wife would argue, she claims that the only thing I'm compatible with is my comp.
Don't worry, the brightest industry brains work on the ozone problem. It will be solved shortly and we'll get a whole lotta power right here.

For example compare Win2K vs. Linux according to the following criterias:
Compare costs of a standard corporate LAN installation
Compare total number of servers using *nix, average server uptime etc.(get this info from www.netcraft.com)
Compare number of website break-ins (get this info from www.attrition.org)
Good luck!
Then Greg Maffei gets an email from Gates saying smth like: 'You spent $150 million on what? 'Don't you listen? I said, 'Snapple!'

... also recall that recent settles between US gov and MS came right after the sep.11 attack.

And don't let those salesmen to fool you.
