the one with the BSD'd kernel (Mac OS) has the second biggest
The kernel is Darwin, not BSD.
Darwin is built around XNU, a hybrid kernel that combines the Mach 3 microkernel, various elements of BSD (including the process model, network stack, and virtual file system),[5] and an object-oriented device driver API called I/O Kit.[1]
Darwin uses the APSL, not the BSD license. The APSL is a share-alike license*, making it much closer to the GPL than to the BSD.
Further, your share estimates only cover the desktop, not servers.
* "If You Externally Deploy Your Modifications, You must make Source Code of all Your Externally Deployed Modifications either available to those to whom You have Externally Deployed Your Modifications, or publicly available."
I'm not going to start arguing with you because it's quite clear that you've given this some thought and made up your mind, but you might consider that people claiming to be open WRT the GPL may imply open and can never be closed.
I'm pretty sure it would be 143.5B/(143.5B + 208.15B - some market fluctuation), not 143.5B/208.15B since the new company would be a combination of both.
Gmail was a project started by Google developer Paul Buchheit several years before it was announced to the public. Initially the software was available only internally as an email client for Google employees.
The project initially was known by the code name Caribou, a reference to a Dilbert comic strip about Project Caribou.[1]
You may be wrong about others, too. That I don't know about.
'To me the problem is the Wikipedia rule of public use,' says Jerry Avenaim, a celebrity photographer. 'If they truly wanted to elevate the image on the site, they should allow photographers to maintain the copyright.'"
We should be hearing "If the publicists really want clients in the best light, they'll provide a picture which meets the largest encyclopedia's standards."
They just don't get it. It's one picture that you donate to the world in exchange for your name being mentioned. Sports sponsors have been doing something similar for a long time.
The MS Office 2010 videos put out by MS a couple of days ago include Firefox accessing Sharepoint and the narrator emphasizing the "full experience." Your need for IE may be short-lived,
If you find the Sharepoint video, look at the 10 or 11 minute mark.
We have no current plans to deploy Windows 7 59.3%
According this 59,3% will skip Windows 7 completely.
Read it again. Not having a plan is not the same as planning not to do something, no matter how many times you've heard that "Failing to plan is planning to fail.";)
Nearly 18 months after it first shipped, businesses finally appear ready to embrace the Windows XP client operating system. Close to two-thirds of those polled-63 percent-said they would switch to Windows XP within the next 12 months. -- Yankee Group, The, Jan 2003
To summarize, 40% of businesses have some kind of plan to switch to Windows 7 within a year from its launch (and the plan comes before the launch), while the Yankee survey showed that ~60% of businesses planned to switch before the 2 1/2-year mark. Heck, only 20% planned to switch to Windows 2003.
As much as I want Windows 7 to be a flop in businesses the way Vista was, that doesn't seem likely to happen.
Label all buttons with imperative verbs, using header capitalization. For example, Save, Sort or Update Now.
You're right that no dialog box should ever go "Are you sure? [No] [Yes]" and that's been true in GNOME since 2.0 came out seven years ago. Maybe you're not using GNOME apps?
Fluendo offers paid codec support. Of course, you have to pay. Fluendo is integrated in Ubuntu and you are prompted to purchase the Fluendo codecs when you run into a file with an unsupported codec.
The Psystar case proved that OS X isn't in competition with Windows because they don't compete on the same hardware. The hardware each OS runs on is in competition, but the OSes aren't.
Many companies fear letting a company host their data when the specific objective is to search it in order to be able to offer targeted ads to users. When Google comes up with a successful model for pricing software as a service with no advertising "strings" attached, then the picture changes.
a. Default Setting. The default setting for the Services is one that does not allow Google to serve Ads. Customer may change this setting in the Admin Console, which constitutes Customerâ(TM)s authorization for Google to serve Ads. If Customer enables the serving of Ads, it may revert to the default setting at any time and Google will cease serving Ads.
b. Generally. Ads will comply with the AdWords Guidelines. Except as stated otherwise under this Agreement, Google will neither contact the End Users directly through email, nor authorize a third party to contact the End Users directly by email, for advertising purposes. If Google is authorized to serve Ads, any revenue generated from the display of Ads will be retained by Google and will not be subject to any revenue sharing.
There are no ads in Google Aps Premier (again, the type sold to businesses). The Education Edition doesn't have them, either. Study up on Google Apps.
I think you're right that MS doesn't care as much as it used to. Take a look at See Whatâ(TM)s New in Microsoft Web Applications 2010 in the Office 2010 preview videos. If you seek to 1:15, you'll see MS show using a Firefox browser with Sharepoint. They never would have shown a competitor five or ten years ago.
I've been pushing this for the last six months. I think that the best example of how to use a tagging system already exists in programs like F-Spot. A tree-like tag system goes on the left. A time-line goes on top. The files are in the main pane in reverse chronological order. Double-clicking takes the main pane into "view" mode and embeds a document, image, or video viewer. Click the "edit" button to open an editor.
The "open file" dialog in applications would be the file browser with a filter for supported files.
My gal, however spends all her time trying to best all her friends (and second-degree friends) in brain teasers and restaurant simulations. The addition of competition raises her normal compulsiveness to new levels.
So the social system works, at least for a certain subset of people.
They've also changed the way they handle new features. They no longer roll out new features to the interface: they put them in Labs for six months first.
The standard interface really has been out of beta for a while. Labs is the new beta.

The question then becomes why aren't you using FreeBSD. (Hint: the answer is deeper than "It doesn't do what I want it to.)

GMail was developed as part of the 20% program.

The guy made offers twice to give everything he had to the RIAA. He even mailed them over $5000. They returned his check.
This is no different than a TiVo. TiVo can and does require a signed binary. That's the difference between the GPLv2 and v3.
The publicist represents the artist, not the photographer. Publicists are the ones complaining that artists' pictures are of low quality on Wikipedia.
Indeed, instead of this:

If I use Latexki or DocBook Wiki, then my prof will certainly accept the export I turn in, since it'll be a PDF.

Except for the "open source" part. (Yes, I know that parts of OS X are open, but Google's going to do the whole stack.)
They called you "Flamebait." I would have said "Insightful."
You forgot Cowboy Neal.
Yeah. That's why they have Google Apps for Your Domain.
