For one, Blu allows for arbitrary code execution. So you could have some disc that phones home or something not allowing the disc to play without it. It also allows constantly changing encryption schemes. HDDVD used AACS. That's it, nothing fancy.
In the case of Apple they only keep supporting one version of their OS most of the time. The second oldest will get some updates, but they will be slow and stop soon after the newer one is released. Therefor should a worm ever make its way onto one of the older versions, you'd be wanting to upgrade right quick. Still you're not required to upgrade, but there are some things that will prohibit you from using the computer for anything newer that comes out.
If you had a bought a Mac with 10.0, then the costs would be rather different if you upgraded each time.
10.1 was free (correct?)
10.2 was $130
10.3 was $130
10.4 was $130
10.5 is $130
That brings us to $520. This is what the grandparent was talking about, not your misrepresentation of it.
What good is edge if it isn't even available for use? That's what the grandparent was pointing out..... So while you say Edge is fine... there are significant limitations on the locations it can be used.
The again, I was writing c++ classes before the stl existed, so what do I know...
Obviously nothing about code reuse, that's what. STL is all about not reinventing the wheel all the time. A bunch of eggheads have put together efficient data wrappers and algorhithms that can use those data wrappers FOR YOU. You don't need to make a mess of uncompatable code that nobody but you will use.

See 300 HDDVD vs 300 Blu-Ray.

This already has examples in HD-DVD. The behind the scenes plays in PiP for 300.
So Sony used it's position in the gaming industry to push ahead in the home video industry? What happens if they win? Lawsuit?
Walmart has securiy detectors at the entrance/exit to the store. They perform "WGA" style checks every time you enter/exit the store.
I believe in the freeflow of your dollars to my wallet, that doesn't make it right.
I believe MS commented on the issue with sound cards pointing at the sound card industry for putting out trash drivers.
You said it yourself, that's the HD-DVD consortium which, last I checked, has a lot more players than Microsoft.
Fix QuickTime and QT will be fixed. Sandbox FF and ALL plugins will be fixed.
That's why they're releasing another service pack for XP right? because it's too good? I call troll.

What is a Wookie doing on Endor? Your post just seems mal-formed. I mean, you show stats for Ubuntu and apply them to Vista. That's not how it works.
2001 is calling, they say MS fixed the problem.
The article left out some important details. That cost was an estimate taken from retail values of software, which includes MS Office.

You can do the same thing with OEM Windows... So what was your point again?
So then you were playing Half-Life 2 without paying more?
I almost wanted the XGP until they hacked the PSP.
The iPod is none of the things you listed there. Go buy a GP32 or something if you are really that interested in open dev environments.
Um... it charges over usb. Isn't that by definition data & power?
Wasn't brown the #1 selling color for Zunes? I think you missed something while basking in the rays from the reality distortion field.
Not true. There is a plugin for Office 2003 to use the new formats, as well as a viewer. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925180
Why not just assign some shortcuts in 3DS? Sounds like that'd solve every issue you have with it.
