This system allows you to use the web interface without having to configure an e-mail client. The Google Gears plug-in already works in Docs and Reader in the background. This is one more step forward in making it acceptable for businesses.

Only way around that, that I can think of, is for coreboot to natively support loading and running the kernel/initrd.
This is exactly what LinuxBIOS used to do. The system was for clusters and booted directly to a kernel. I haven't followed the project in maybe five years, so things may have changed.
We are working on making Linux our BIOS. In other words, we plan to replace the BIOS in NVRAM on our Rockhopper cluster with a Linux image, and instead of running the BIOS on startup we'll run Linux. We have a number of reasons for doing this, among them:... [LinuxBIOS.org, Aug. 2000, at the bottom of the page]
That's because video production tools on Linux aren't really up to speed. GTKRecordMyDesktop or Istanbul? Both are severely limited, and Istanbul has a years-old bug for many systems requiring full shots for every scree, in addition to sound hosing the screencast. For post-production, PiTiVi is a toy, while Kino and KDEnlive have promise, but don't work consistently well.
I almost installed an XP VM image just so that I could get a good screencast system, but instead I'm just faking it with Salasaga. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.
The EU could simply require that a competitive browser be installed either by MS or by OEMs, while not specifying which browser that is. IE will be installed anyway.
I don't think that the question of whether MS used its monopoly OS position to destroy the browser market can be realistically raised since the evidence is public and almost a decade old now. There have been legal decisions on this matter in both North America and Europe. Are you too young to remember these?
It's obviously not melodic enough for the software to figure out a possible tune. I like the first two albums (and the demo w/ Mustaine), but I'd generally have to agree with the software on this one.
I'm still waiting for someone to post a Songsmith Rick Roll. Surprised it hasn't happened yet.
OpenOffice.org is just about the largest program in a normal desktop install, and using alien to convert the RPMs into DEBs was the standard way to install it (out of repo) on Debian for years.
No, because of shared libs, it's not 100%, but (as you mention) devs who want compatibility can plan for that.
A single desktop, so that Linux is one desktop, not several. Otherwise the other efforts, such as the help desk, marketing and research all multiply their efforts making everything impractical.
You then go on to say in a later post:
Let me put it this way. Linux should put [all] resources on one desktop environment which should result into a wonderful desktop while leaving the possibility of using another should there be need.
You want a single desktop. How, then, can one leave "the possibility of using another should there be need?" People see a need now, so they use different ones now and they help develop these.
Statically link your binaries or create a startup script to include the necessary (and included) libraries. It's done all the time. Lots of proprietary software that's distributed on Linux is packaged this way. It's no different, really, than OS X's disk image method.
Except that the most recent LTS (8.04) was a fucking mess coming out of the gate. The replaced libflashsupport in the last week because it was crashing FF every hours or so, leaving them with flaky audio. On 64-bit systems, the default photo app didn't even launch after the first run due to a late bug in Mono. Dapper was good, but you'll remember they delayed the release two months. Hardy should have had the same treatment.
Hardy 8.04LTS drove a large number of people from Ubuntu, and the mess wasn't fixed until 8.04.1, which means that Ubuntu is a "wait for SP1" distro.

Oh, and before FUDders like Gartner analyst David Smith start the talking point of "New features help make Gmail more compelling for business customers, but for many, a bigger problem is the fact that Gmail still sports its beta tag. " Google Apps (including Gmail) isn't beta for paying customers.
I checked. It's Otto.

When I read the summary, all I could think of was the blow-up pilot from Airplane. I think his name was Otto.

No. Modern OSes initialize hardware by themselves. CoreBoot simply passes off to a kernel as soon as possible (generally 1 sec).

It's also Monday here, but since it's the Lunar New Year, I've got today and tomorrow off, too. Am I as insensitive as the OP was?
You need "http://" before your links. Here's the correct link, but the site's down.
If you can find a car manufacturer which regularly replaces 4-6 power trains while the car is still under 3-year warranty, I'll buy you a shot.
Dell only offers the Windows version of the Dell Mini to the education market. The Linux version isn't available. I find that very interesting.
He really needs to look at K12LTSP and get on the mailing list for this question. It has been asked quite a few times in the last seven years.

Quoting from your original post:
A single desktop, so that Linux is one desktop, not several. Otherwise the other efforts, such as the help desk, marketing and research all multiply their efforts making everything impractical.
You then go on to say in a later post:

Do you even understand the system you denigrate?
If everyone puts all resources towards one desktop, how can there be another one to use "should there be a need."
Really, when we follow that reasoning, you should just choose the desktop every person on the Earth will use. All Hail Emperor Bogaboga!!!!
BTW, you're a complete idiot.

LXDE uses OpenBox and adds a lot of XDG functionality, PCManFM, and basic GTK+ apps. The whole desktop runs in abuot 64MB RAM.

Whew, okay, I was starting to sweat, thinking "Why would a racial comment appear on Slashdot?" I should've googled it before I commented.
