Let's see...FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux...KDE, Gnome, and a dozen other desktops -- all written with "donated" code by talented programmers that ENJOY programming, or an Ad-sponsored OS/Desktop...
I recently read about your harassment of Mr. Tom Murphy, of Carnegie Mellon University. Not only is the DMCA a bad law - usurping the rights of the general public mostly to the benefit of large companies - but wielding it in such a manner is bound to generate the type of publicity a company would want to avoid. Certainly you're aware that the next generation of business leaders and politicians (my generation -- I'm 30) is much more technologically competent (and aware of the implications of bad tech laws) than the current generation, and will not be afraid to show it with our votes AND our wallets. I can assure you that you will receive no business from my own company.
I purchased approximately 400 Dell laptops within one year (for our local office of C** Comm.), and the percentage that had any hardware problems within 6 - 12 months was about 3%, not bad considering the number of field techs that were using laptops, and the number of morons that you find in management. Mobo replacements are very rare, and aren't a big deal, since techs are usually on site and fixing them within 2-3 days.
Squeezing 48 weeks of material into 5 weeks? Ha! I've taken Calc II and Numerical Methods over summer terms, and I can tell you that unless the classes are every day, there's virtually no way you're going to cover the material in any depth or breadth...but, if your goal is just a piece of paper...
