I might be wrong, but don't TV networks buy the right to broadcast shows on their networks? So it seems to me that by putting their little logos on the shows they are just trying to protecting their investment.

Big deal. Being Chinese, if I want to read Chinese, all i press is that "download" button that pops up prompting me to download Chinese support. If java support is going to be that easy, this is no concern.
Just because reading Chinese needs that extra step doesn't mean the millions of people in China don't read Chinese.
If people want to use Java they will.
That's what everyone says, but when it comes down to it, Microsoft does have the market share.
If Linux is to be accepted in the consumer world, it needs to have some sort of emulation layer to meet the needs of the Microsoft switch overs and then implement new or "substitutes or alternatives" when the market share is greater. Consumers like to use things that their friends and family can use together and talk about.
"We spend more time trying to get Microsoft-supported games to run on Linux than we do writing games for Linux. "
Linux games are being written, but the games written for Microsoft platforms are more popular(correct me if I'm wrong)and much more financially viable. I don't think there is a problem with allowing Linux users the option of playing popular PC games with little emulation effort through wine, or Loki software or whatever.

56k modem does 56000 bits which does 56000 divided by 8 KB/s which is actually 7k/sec. *theoretically* as you say
