Enterprise is the "regular business" edition. Professional is the "business lite" edition. It's basically Home Premium plus being able to join a domain.

So what did Ubuntu 10 give you over Ubuntu 4? Nothing? Oh, if only Canonical would stop letting the marketing department run things! We need INNOVATION!

So unless you're racing in the GP, you should be driving a Peel P50?
Your argument is so deeply flawed, it's disturbing. The computer I develop on is the computer I *USE*. Just because most of what I do on it is development, doesn't mean that I shouldn't use an operating system that is much more PLEASANT to interact with than the absolute minimum requirement.

The machine I sit at cold boots to logged in in under 30 seconds. Try uninstalling your spyware.
Considering they do it for profit, I do not assume they are using known SAFE chemicals but rather chemicals that simply smell like what the customers want.
Because the quickest road to profit is to kill/maim/dismember/cripple your customers, amirite?
My Win7 system connected to my FreeBSD samba shares, as well as Linux samba shares, without any problems and without any tweaking. I think you're probably the problem, not Windows and not Samba.
No, the scary part here is that everyone believes TFS without bothering to check what's really going on. Microsoft didn't open-source anything. They made the source available to developers through Visual Studio so you can debug into the framework libraries. It worked then, it continues to work now.
This is just some idiot stirring up the anti-Microsoft faithful with a dead blog (*gasp* dead blog? Conspiracy!) and a website that hasn't been updated because there is no new information.
They did exactly what they said they were doing, and they never stopped.
Same thing happened to me that happened to the submitter... my account was suddenly short several hundred dollars one day, and when I looked, there had been two withdrawls at an ATM in my city.
I headed to the bank, they voided all my account-related stuff (cards, checks, number, etc, they call it a "level change" for some reason), and the money went back into my account in a day or two while they investigated.
If your bank sucks worse than this, get a new bank.
Interestingly enough, a "project" (since VS2005) is really an XML-based MSBuild "script" (extremely similar to an Ant script, if you're Java-ish, or a makefile if you're into that sort of thing). A "solution" is still text-based, though MSBuild has the brains to convert a solution into a more project-style thing when it's asked to build one.
That hasn't been the case in many years. Every.NET version of Visual Studio (2003, 2005, 2008, and 2010) are backwards compatible with the previous project files and solutions from prior.NET versions.
That's not really strictly true. Each new version of VS can CONVERT earlier projects and solutions to a current format, but it cannot directly load the earlier file formats.
VS2008 introduced the ability to target some earlier "versions" of the.NET Framework (though it only targets frameworks based on.NET 2.0 (2.0, 3.0, 3.5 are all the 2.0 Framework, though 3.5 introduced a new compiler).
VS2010 can target the 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 Frameworks. Between these 4 "versions" there are actually only two runtimes, and three compilers.
In my experience, commercial "component" vendors produce some of the worst software in existence. If my company produced that kind of stuff, we'd have been out of business a decade ago.
Silverlight is a subset of WPF, which is catching up by gaining features that WPF already had. Microsoft obviously believes in WPF enough to rewrite Visual Studio's text editor control as a WPF control, eliminating code that's been in VS since version 6 or possibly even earlier.
OS's like Linux typically don't use a whole lot of swap given the typical amount of ram in use these days.
Neither do OSs like Windows.
video editing tends to hit a bottleneck on the CPU, not the disk subsystem.
Admittedly I've only ever done a small bit of video editing (home movies from a DV camera), but every single bit of it was limited by IO. Never, ever, by CPU, and that was back in the days where Athlons and P4s came in sub-2gHz speeds. If you'd have said "video rendering" then I'd have believed you.

That's the unfairness of a monopoly in a nutshell.
No, it's the unfairness of a WELFARE STATE.

Well, hell, there goes your computer. How're you supposed to keep yourself protected when the SECURITY VENDOR knows your EMAIL ADDRESS?

The horror!
It prompts you when you attempt to delete other users' files. I know, it's terribly annoying like that.
A lot of corporations aren't buying 3TB drives for desktop machines.

True. Having recently struggled with something even as recent as Solaris 7, I know it's painful.
Um, use Windows?

Like I posted farther up, my bank did the exact same thing that the GP describes.
If you don't trust your bank, why are you banking with them?

You know you can turn that off, right?
A "solution" is a grouping of "projects".

I think that means I agree with you.
I've never used crutchsharper, and I've been writing .net code since the original betas. In VS2010 intellisense is even better.
Where's the "-1, Cynical" mod when I need it? For that matter, is it -1 or +1?
I think you misunderstand me (I think... your post is hard to follow...).
Trust me, I'm with the developers here. For sure MY users get very little say how MY software works... I write it for myself, the way I want it.
