Sorenson made some codecs for Apple, much like FairPlay has licensed out DRM to Apple. Someone else tried to license technology from Sorenson and Apple took them to court. Water, rinse, repeat.
If you right click on a music file and select "Play In Windows Media Player", it automatically plays. No need to make a playlist. WinAmp has the same function, as long as you have it set to the right options.
In some versions of Windows, removing IE will lock out all sorts of stuff. For example, you might night be able to look at help files, or Add/Remove programs will stop working. The OS can run without IE, programs that help you run it cannot.
DirectX does a lot more than OpenGL, and started before OpenGL accelerators were common. DirectX covers things other than 2D/3D, such as sound, music, video playback decoding, input, networking, installation, etc.
The first version of DirectX did little more than help make a common interface to getting fast drawing in Windows, much like VESA did for DOS.
The idea was that I didn't have to close down Windows to run the games. Linux is a no go for that purpose. Virtual PC runs a little faster than DOS Box, so I suspect something can be done to speed it up... What that is, I have no clue. If I was going to install another OS to play these games, I'd just dual boot Win98SE/XP or something and run it on an OS that can handle it directly.
DOSBox is very slow. It's nice that it's free, but I can't run software intended for a 12mhz machine on my P3-1gHz. I doubt he'd be able to run Duke Nukem with decent performance.
My Zen does not use MusicMatch to sync. Perhaps you have it confused with a different player. Creative has always used their own software for syncing. THere might be some 3rd party addon for MM to sync, but that does not ship with the Nomad.
IIRC, animals were only fed to each other in the smaller farms that were trying to compete. This is part of what caused Mad Cow to become so prominent in the UK. After the big trouble with it, people in the UK switched away from this method of produce. The Mad Cow in the US came from Canada, where I have no idea how they are regulated. Blame Canada, I guess.
Quite a few game stores actually require ID for games that are considered violent, games that carry the Mature rating. The problem is that the kids just get their parents to buy the game for them, and the parents don't think twice about it.
Maybe the greedy, power hungry, *nix using Sun shouldn't have sued MS in order to make them take Windows 98 off the market. I guess you didn't consider that.
Um, as I said before that's easy. You can also burn WMA to CD, just as with AAC. If you have a valid license, some programs will also directly convert the WMA to MP3. But as with AAC, this is lossy in the worst way.
You say WMA is a proprietary format, yet more players play WMA, both hardware and software, than AAC.
in the same right, AAC is the same way. You can burn WMA's to CD as well, but that doesn't make the quality of the file you got any better. Lots of flash portables and some HD based players also play WMA files, no need to convert them in the first place. But I guess if you're on a Mac then you get locked into one brand that works.
Yeah, because we all know the *nix API's are so easy to program for, have a lot of easy to read documentation, thousands of example code, and as fully featured as the Win32 API.

Then why was the 3200 slower than the 2800 under many tests? The rating system is flawed. I say it's not a rating system at all, but a version number.

So basically, if I'm some stupid script kiddie downloading illegal warez, then I'm screwed... Well guess what, I'm not... You = lose;
Why don't you use the latest version of WMA instead of whining about the previous one.

In PhotoShop the last filter applied is given the shortcut Ctrl+F.

They already have that... The Warning system. Works OK, but a few people are needed to get 100% warn.
You can burn a CD of DRM'd WMA's as long as you have a license for the music. I said that in my previous post.
Um, as I said before that's easy. You can also burn WMA to CD, just as with AAC. If you have a valid license, some programs will also directly convert the WMA to MP3. But as with AAC, this is lossy in the worst way.

I predict people like you will continue to spend time bashing MS instead of actually getting work done.

Or maybe you should stop smokin da wacky tobaccy.
I'm trying to joke here... Maybe I should have opted for the [Laughter] sign ;/

Except that Dell generally ships their computers already patched and up to date.
And in the darkness GPL them.... or something...
The only problem is the makers would probably quit development after a long battle over which distro to use.
