... But XP would still default to the MS app. For example in IE under XP, each time you click a "mailto" link it lauches Outlook, even if you have Netscape as your default email application.
Same if you install an image viewer/browser such as Irfanview, XP will insist on opening images in its own preview application.
France bans it because they are ashamed of the fact they laid down like a $2 hooker for Hitler
Please stop repeating that lie again and again. That does not make it true. 90,000 French soldiers were killed between may 10th and june 25th 1940. That's about the same rate as the worst WWI slaughters. Or, about 1/4 total US losses for the whole war, Pacific included, in 6 weeks time.
The law only prohibits "public exhibition" of such symbols, so it is surely illegal to wear a SS uniform in the street, but on a video game it's not clear.
Some games (Mircroprose's European Air War, for example) have had on problems displaying historically accurate markings on WWII German aircraft, swastika included. But unlike RTCW, they can argue they are historically accurate.
A Harrier was downed too. And -ahem- a Mirage 2000. Its crew as captured, remember?
But maybe it was not by Milosevic's army?

In the 40 days of the Battle of France (10 may - 20 june 1940) 92,000 french soldiers were killed. That's the same rate as the worst WWI battles.
Over the whole war, France lost 250,000 military men plus 370,000 civilians (a lot of them under american bombs).
This guy runs slashdot and he has never used a foreign website. He probably doesn't know what the 2 first W's stand for in WWW either. In fact he doesn't even know he is running a website, or what a website is. Now that's news for nerds!
...or simply to instances of the same version running computer with different printer/video drivers.
You're perfectly right when you say not even m$ can do this. I tend to think Word versions are not intentionally incompatible: none of them works, that's all. Unfortunately the concept of reverse-engineering implies some kind of rigorous technical work has been done on the subject of the study.
The tragedy here is.DOC is not really a printed document format, it heavily depends on Windows' font display system and tries to print it afterwards.
Why people still use this crappy system, that has not progressed in any aspect in 16 years (since Mac Write 1.0) is beyond me.
Of course, the correct approach is TeX's: having a page description and being able to display a graphical preview of it.
I tend to think WYSIWYG word processors can't work at all, because of this dependency on the font displaying system. LyX is the closest thing to a WYSIWYG WP that works.
The "La Fayette" squadron is a unit of the French air force. American volunteers served in this unit during WWI. Its insigna was (and still is, I saw it on the tail of a Mirage fighter a few months ago) a native american head with a swastika on it.

regardless of theater this is the best flight combat simulation ever. Yaks rock!
Not only that, but they managed to come up with a 2-syllabic word! THAT's TOO LONG

That's a lot for a country that did "not fight".
