Bill G could be telling the truth. Windows is a more popular desktop and one big reason is that it is 'easier' to setup and use as a web browser and word processor for the "Johnny Lunchpail"s of the world.
Since those common applications are pretty well matured, what else does he have to work on? Trying to force Apache out of the internet market by developing IIS? Not bloody likely.
Anyone know of a good difinition of a "State of Matter"? I think it is just one of those buzzwords some of the press used to grab attention for a science story.
This certainly isn't a new phase of matter (like solid/liqud/gas etc) because I believe the thermodynamic definitions of phase changes involve how the heat capacity (or enthalpy) changes with temperature. This change in property of the BE gas is due to changing the LASER settings, not the temperature.
Ideally, I see no reason why a music company should not be allowed to TRY to thwart CD copying.
Allong the same lines, anyone who is smart enough to hack through such measures should be able to give it a shot--legally.
If I buy a wrench, the wrench-maker should be legally allowed to try to reduce the utility of the wrench as much as I should be allowed to use the wrench however I want to.
