I wouldnt be at all supprised if a licesence agreement changes/appears which states that Microsoft may withdraw money from your account at any time if they even suspect you of breaching copyright agreements (think DRM, windows product activation codes)
Didnt some watch maker or other try this ages ago with internet time in be@ts or somthing... I have a vauge recolection of the outsider 99 clock having support for it.
Actualy if you think about the eneries involed a simple calculation reveals that the chances of even one molecule being ionised is so slim unless you press your head next to a base station.

"But Linux software is getting better -- and now more closely mimics the Windows world that the vast majority of PC users are accustomed to." all of microsoft's top ten reasons to upgrade to XP are features we have seen in linux for a long long time.. and consisdering who they ripped the GUI and DOS off of seems to me this journalist is either brainwashed or just being paid lots. (not that theres much difference between the two in a capitialist world)
the same man who said "This bill will reduce the number of people who can read your emails" the other day on radio 4. Apparently at the moment lots of agencies etc can get your data with out guidlines or restrictions at all. (well thats what he said anyway)
With any comercial product I am parting with money (obviously). If I pay a cleaning company to clean somthing, and they do a bad job, I will complain and either get refund or the job done properly. Why should buying software be different.
If however I go out and find a vacuum cleaner in a skip or somthing and it doesnt work then do I really have a reason to sue the skip owner?
AND they can affort to ensure it doesnt happen.. Kinda like GPL software in goverments

I hate to say it, but the Debian Package system solves all your criticisms in one go. Dependencies are well done and strict, and it will even manage/etc for you

Does sony count as a "big player"? Because they had a few products in their "VIAO" range based upon crusoe chips. (and damm nice they were too)
When films are labled as "100$ Million on special effects" where does most of that money go? On rendering hardware or what?
I was of the opinion that packet swtiching had been around since somepoint in the late 80's, albeit very expensive until more recntly.

"Again we see major media discussing open source as an actual alternative to a longstanding standard"
How long has MS Office been a standard? It certainly isnt by my definition of the word

In case you havent noticed the use of the word "war" in the context of OS wars is purely metaphorical. There are no soilders or bombs so to speak.
