Media Center is AFAIK bit-by-bit identical to "normal" WinXP (except installer config, of course) with "Media Center" _app_ add-on. Oh, and a theme! (which, BTW, I'm using on all my XP and Server2k3 boxes).
Actually - I tried OOo2.0 for Windows (that I got with Ubuntu CDs BTW) and I _was_ amazed how fast it is in both loading and processing. I'd say that it is faster than MSOffice2k3 (again - both in loading and processing times). But still I do have a problem with OO - after a while all my menus are gone (empty). I guess I will figure out how to turn them back on but as for recommending it to people around - this provokes a second thought for a while.
But it _is_ speedy anyway - amazing what Java (right?) app can achieve.
Pray tell what's excellent about it? Crashing on "precompiled headers"? Slow executables? Incompatible.obj format?
(Though I've been programming with Delphi more than with any other single tool, I guess. Apart from obsolete editor it was pretty good. Though after v5 it stagnated.)

Wow... There are bigger nerds than anime otakus.
And that would be a nice title for a game!
Core Duo and Core Solo are NOT "Core" arch chips. (SURPRISE!!)
They are basically Pentium M's.
Even if it weighs 4 tons and require the chick to install new boobs?
Yeah, if only Steve Ballmer went into making "wicking running shirts".
I said "tool", not "stool".
So, they gonna construct a Steve Ballmer replica?
No, they can't. They make products. You want a tool.
So - I believe we have it settled then: which videocards are faster - ATI or nVidia?
How does it run HalfLife2 for example?
I check my dictionary and the closest is "ekika". Meaning "armpit". FYI.
How much ($ per title) are DS games in your corner of the world folks?
Unix is not GNU.
Please don't use words "ass" and "fairy" together ever again. :)
Can we be sure that someone in-between is not rounding down pennies on their way?
No. Realdoll (www.realdoll.com) is a fucking toy company.

Microsoft against IBM?? Well, it's like Queen Kong against King Kong. Yes, she's big but she'll be the bitch here I'm afraid.
Proprietary with expiration deadlines are ok with you? Proprietary for specific glibc? Hell, are proprietary with backdoors ok?
There's always FreeBSD. I guess FreeBSD makes up for almost 100% of FreeBSD distros.
