Sounds like you forgot to play games. I know at least Never Winter Nights is still not working well, as well as a few other games as of late.

Yes, I'm sure that once the Chinese government realised that we had the names, addresses, and phone numbers of their top leaders they were scared their country would collapse and MicroSoft would take over.
First off, Nintendo revenue dropped by 50% not too long ago. Down from a billion to a half a billion. It might seem like they were still alright, but the trickle down effect was very visible. Nintendo now employs less testers as well as other staff. Some of my friends used to work there, but after the drop it's been tough for them.
Second, your web design skills are attrocious. I went to the link but soon left because I didn't want to struggle by trying to read that. For shame!
What this could mean is that nobody uses the Macs, and all the deliquents use the PC's. I mean, I wouldn't want my friends to see me using a Mac, I'd get bombarded with "Think Different"(gay) jokes.
Excel is really usefull if you know how to use it. In my last AI class we were shown how to use it to solve complex perceptron problems. (IE writing a perceptron in Excel and having it iterate many thousands of times.)
I'm sure that China using its own software instead of pirating Microsoft's will hurt indeed... Let us not forget why China started the move in the first place.
Apache is installed by default on most *nix distros I've seen. IIS is not installed by default on the version of Windows 2K/XP I've used. I know Apache has some serious flaws in it, and that there are lots of people out there who use really old versions of distros because they bought them and are still on dial-up.
If we count the flaws in IE/Outlook, then we need to count the flaws in the similar programs on the other OS's, as they both serve the same purpose and their use is on a per person basis. I'm sure most people don't run random bash scripts sent to them, but maybe there are some people out there who would.

You say it's an easy question to answer, yet you do not answer it. There are some portions of other OS's that are updated dayly as new bugs/vulnerabilities are found.
"In version 2.0 of the APSL, the definition of "Externally Deployed" has been narrowed in a way that is appropriate for the respect of users' freedoms."
A friend of mine had trouble when he first installed XP. He had that problem where the start menu took a lot longer to show than it should. He contacted MS support and they helped him get it to be better, but still not what it should have been. All this was done with no added cost after buying the OS at the MS store for real cheap.
On the other hand, I don't think much software these days is released without knowing that there will be issues. Back in the day you could have a couple machines and test out your software on them to find the problem spots. However, these days there are so many combinations of software that it would cost a fortune to do this.
I'd say open source projects tend to use the method of releasing and letting the users find the problems a lot more than commercial products. Probably because they don't have the resources to have a group of testers go through it for them.
1.3. Is the German government sponsoring/supporting the project?
To be very precise the project is _not_ "supported" or "sponsored" by the German Government. Saying this would missrepresent the situation.
Apple also sold a broken product, charged for updates that also contained broken products and continues to do so. "It comes with a DVD burner!* (Software for burning not implimented yet.)"

Yes, that's why approximately 8,000 people in the US were fired and their jobs given to people outside the US.
A modified windiff would probably suffice. One that checks for similarities across multiple files.

Error: Too many secrets.
If you drag & drop files onto the cd drive in XP, you can burn them (burner required).
I've had this patch since July 16th. Perhaps you just overlooked it as there was no mention of the worm.

Yes, but you have to read it in encoded form. You get used to it after a while.
Doesn't wine/etc require a version of windows to be installed for certain programs to work anyways?
"Floating Point Error found in method to calculate market share." It could happen!
Ewwww, how mac-ish. Isn't there some other way to have something like that show up? I like a clean desktop, except for the programs that hide it.
