What Microsoft is not telling anyone is that they will charge for every little thing you do in Windows Live. The whole thing is designed to suck your money into their pockets on a monthly basis forever. If you buy into Microsoft's dream, you will be paying them for the rest of your life. Is that really what you want?
Ubuntu is nice but it is set up for a newbie with root access disabled. For the stuff you want to do you would be best off with Fedora Core 6. When you do the install choose only the Gnome desktop or KDE desktop if you prefer but installing both makes administration very confusing. Generally Ubuntu and Fedora Core are set up to run Gnome and now that it is maturing it is a very nice desktop. I highly recommended buying a distribution with support to get you going, it will pay for itself when you start customizing things.
In high school I took a dry cleaning bag and made balsa wood cross bars to hold the bottom open. A few birthday candles on the cross bars to provide heat and light during flight. Fill with hot air over the BBQ, light the candles and let it go after dark. It will rise up a few hundred feet and slowly drift across the sky blinking and flashing, then suddenly disapprearing when the candles go out. In ~1970 I did this in Ottawa and stopped traffic all over the west end of the city.
The way Apple simplifies the user interface is to take functionality or choices away. Why go to all the trouble of assembling a pc and then load it up with a crippled OS? Why not just run linux?
What you are proposing is called chaos. Any organization needs structure to function. People need to know where their place is and what they should be doing.
It's probably a good idea. There is so much broken in Fedora Core 5 it's hard to see how they managed to ship it. To be fair some of the problems are due to Gnome's habit of taking 1/2 a step forward and 4 steps back with every new release.
That sucks all the money out of your wallet then hangs up leaving you completely frustrated. It's Windows mobile, the product that crashes anywhere! Now you can take Microsoft Windows with you anywhere and enjoy all the fun and pleasure of Windows locking up your computer literally anywhere in the world. Get yours today!
YooHoo Inteeeeellllllll, the entire IT industry is moving towards open standards. Don't you think it's probably not a good idea to try to pull a Microsoftie and lock computer users in when they are already fed up with this kind of tactic from Microsoft?

And I'm off to the races! Moon Computers on the rise!
Too bad.
now we have to worry about Windows hardening our arteries?
As we watch corporate america slowly suffocate american culture, what will history call these days? The day the music died?

They asked for this last time too and it was denied with good reasons.
It would be funny if the DRM in Vista just won't work with video cards.
Anyone who buys into Vista deserves exactly what they get.
Is that why they always say "Batteries not included." when they hand you your change?
Mandating DRM is going to bump up against freedom of expression and won't go any further.

I guess they've used up the falun gong for organ transplants so they had to start on a new group of people.
There is so much prior art to this invention the patent office simply is no longer able to do it's job.
Get those shields up before we hit the Van Allen belts or we're all doomed!
Whatever for?

May it be with you.
If it has DRM, it does not offer the flexibility I require.
Try Myth TV PVR software and modify it to meet your needs. You can have the project team do it for you.

and "go play in the traffic" were my childhood memories.
