I'm from sweden and I'd say it's about the same here.
One thing I thought about reading your post is that this is because nobody wants to be their work anymore. Especially not in one place all their life, what kind of a career would that be? Fifty years ago you pretty much were "the police officer" or "the butcher" in the area you worked.
Nowadays everybody is this anonymous person who happens to work with x at a given point. I'm not that nostalgic about it though, there are good and there are bad things that come out of it.
Like for example the standardized way the Media Player, IE6/IE7, Office look and work...
I'm getting a bit tired of Windows fanboys yelling about how user interfaces in Linux differ from application when they actually have the same mess of differently skinned application comming even from Microsoft.
The times I have worked with more advanced audio projects on win32 platform it has actually not "pretty much worked" at all. ASIO drivers or Directsound, what driver should I use to make Cubase work good?
If you have regular audio applications in mind then I must say that I have not once had a problem with a regular application (music players, soundrecorders, videoplayers etc.) - it Pretty Much Works...
I don't think the article was ment for users but rather developers since it described the different APIs, why would a user need to read about that?
And as many other mentioned, yes, windows has different APIs, but exactly as under linux the user do not need to think about them as long as the applications does not require them to.
I have a hard time seeing why this is a problem from a developer of PHPs point of view. You use the functionality you need, there is no need to know everything about the rest. If you need it but don't know it, hey, that's what the thoroughout documentation is for.
I think the "clean and simple" with complexity in modules is just a problem if you try to think of it. If you consider the "core functionality" of PHP it is quite easy to see what really is core and what is not. The distinction is made by you as a developer.
If you need functionality X from module Y you still will have to know that it exists. And if it doesn't exist because the language is so simple, then you will have to have the knowledge to develop it yourself, hardly something that makes it easier to master. So the complexity of languages that can do the same should not differ much in my opinion.
As a side note: If your foretelling about that Java and PHP will collapse under the weight of their respective base libraries is correct then it should certainly happen to.NET. I find it a bit hard to believe that the three largest languages of the net/coporate world would end their days by such a reason.
In the article it states that:
There have always been patent lawsuits, stretching back to the undocumented but likely stone-age fracas over the wheel.
I feel this is some attempt to hammer into the conciousness of people that the patent system and the copyright is 'natural'. It isn't, the idea of it has not existed for more than at most a couple of hundred years, it is entirely a construction of the industrialization.
You can do similiar data structures with PHP, for example a tree can be created with arrays containing leafs and other arrays mixed.

Could you be so nice and tell us where you get all theese facts?
How do you know that muslims are anti-semitic, on what facts is that based? I dont think "I saw it on tv and it's true" goes as a fact, at least not when you are saying 1.6 billion people is anti-semitic.
Have you been to a islamic country and met muslim people?
If you read a bit history you will se that the conflict is not that easy, it seems very naive to think that any of the sides has a "right" to kill any of the people on the other side.
As to the part about missionaries in africa, it wasnt quite this way, european contries came there and stole the land from the native people and then opressed them and made them slaves.
US surely are surely within their rights to demand justice, but justice is not US bombing a country to pieces because of a deed of individuals. If I kill someone I go to jail, the government does not bomb my house and make my family refugees..
One more thing. How many military bases do other countries have in USA or even nearby?
