Apparently you cannot delete preferences, not even user-made ones, but I may just be missing the option to do so. That seems like a strange design decision. I'd never tried that before.
"browser.tabs.opentabfor.linkclick" was already in my preferences list. Since it doesn't contain the name of an extension I'm assuming it's in the default set of preferences (using FireFox v0.8+ nightly, 20040415).
I assume the information is stored in your profile folder (%appdata%\FireFox\profiles\... on Windows, I believe) since when I upgrade to a new version and install new versions of extensions, the preferences for those extensions stay.
It's v0.1, so I assume it's meant more as proof of concept rather than something they expect anyone to use. Emulation is going to have pretty big slowdown, but 40x seems extraordinarily slow. I assume that it will be optmised to run at a more reasonable speed, although you'll probably always need a rather fast (by today's standards) computer for it to be any where near usable.
It doesn't? I'm running Windows NT v5.1.2600 and it supports my USB devices fine, as does Windows NT v5.0. I've never used a machine running Windows NT v4 or lower, so I do not know anything about its USB support.
I think this is possible under XP, but it would require manually doing the partitions or registry editing (or maybe both, I've never actually done it).
On the other hand, a lot of Windows programs put their data in either the program directory, the windows directory, or the registry, making it difficult or at least annoying to transfer program settings.
Then try the full version of Mozilla, which definitely supports the Flash player plugin {though I'm not convinced you aren't just lying, Firefox might well support plugins}. If you don't need Flash, but you would like tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, a Javascript debugging console, cookie management and speed, then Firefox certainly does it.
FYI, FireFox supports Flash and Java plug-ins fine. All previous versions I've used (since Phoenix v0.4) have supported those plug-ins as well.
I do not know how many people can log in at a time to XP Pro. All I know is that there is a service named "Terminal Services" that identifies itself as
Allows multiple users to be connected interactively to a machine as well as the display of desktops and applications to remote computers. The underpinning of Remote Desktop (including RD for Administrators), Fast User Switching, Remote Assistance, and Terminal Server.
As to it taking so long for Microsoft to add this feature, I don't know. I'm not trying to support Microsoft, I just don't like people making false claims as to what Windows can't do when it shouldn't be hard to write anti-Windows posts without it.
Windows XP Pro and Windows 2k3 Terminal Server Edition allow multiple users to log in for console or GUI sessions.
The others have been covered by other posters.
There's no reason to pay for a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM emulator when you can get a good one for free. Daemon Tools mounts common CD image formats, and emulates the most common copy protection programs. The only problem that I can think of is that the default GUI isn't very user friendly, but I think you can get frontends for it.
Of course Microsoft wouldn't do that, at least not for a relatively high price. They sell XBoxes at a loss (or at least they did at launch, I don't know if they still do) like every other console with the intention of making money on game sales. If you use your XBox as a set-top box, you're probably not buying games, and they have lost money by selling you a XBox.
FireFox (v0.8) seems to have more bugs than FireBird (v0.7). If it really bothers you, you could just use v0.7. The only difference I've really noticed since installing v0.8 is the download manager.
You're kidding, right? Opera certainly has a great interface and nice browsing features, but it's HTML/CSS support is even worse than IE from what I've seen (note that I have an older 7.x version).

On Linux you can mount.iso files using the iso9660 filesystem with the mount command. I'm not sure how Linux reconizes that a directory is a disk, but I assume you could just point the DVD player program to the right directory.
If Microsoft put PGP into Outlook, prompted people to generate a key when it's first run, uploaded it to a keyserver and used that keyserver when sending email this would eliminate a whole swathe of problems in one go.
How would that make a difference? If the virus can send e-mails from an infected computer, it could send signed e-mails, too. If the keyserver requires a password, then the virus could sniff the password once it infects a computer. Of course, the contents of the mail could be checked, but that can already be done on the mail server.
:( Never, never, never, put an option only in a contex menu. It is very bad design. In windows you can also click on the file name of the file after selecting it or goto file --> rename (in a folder window).
Search on the Winamp forums, I remember seeing someone post that they were working on a plug-in to do that. Ah yes, forum user DrO is developing it, here is the forum topic on it and here's the preview 3 download. Hmmm... as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything yet, but keep a watch on that topic.

Does this mean it's time to update my sig?

Goto "about:config" and find "browser.tabs.opentabfor.linkclick" in the list. Set it to true.

That just switches to visible whitespace characters. It does not show formatting codes. At least, it doesn't on Word XP.

The grandparent is talking about use for graphic designers, not average users.

At least someone read the virus warnings. (See my sig)

Other posters have said you can do that, but don't believe them, believe the MythTV offical feature list.
