I don't know what changes here... governments have had access to the Windows source for a couple of years now under the terms of MIcrosoft's Government Security Program.
Playing devil's advocate, that point is debatable. If you replace all of the screws on the planet with an agreed standard of philips head screws, and most people only have the (by example) non-standard flathead screwdriver then you have not exactly made it easier for everybody to complete their home improvement projects.
The margin in a computer sold to an org that will support itself is much higher than a home user who continues to be high maintenance after the sale. Market size is not the only factor, and is dwarfed by the costs involved in support.
It was on the UNDP booth. The thing was made out of balsa wood, with a photo where the LCD display would one day sit. It clearly was nothing more than a mock up.
Warden isn't a root kit, and it is no secret - the details of Warden are spelled out in the EULA that players agree to before subscribing.
The privacy nuts seem to think it is a bad thing, many of us actually playing the game seem to like it.
... next week. In theory under IPv6 we can be less protective with IP address space, and give the UN and Europeans some portion of it to manage in whatever way they see fit. I doubt anybody present will be thinking beyond the raw policy issues sadly.
A good IT admin should be able to secure the PC on their desk and therefore everything else that they access. Help your company cut costs and keep you, it is much better than the alternative.
... one of the first things that they teach you is that if somebody calls you an idiot, then duck the response. Don't stand up and loudly proclaim that you're not an idiot, you'll make a headline out of it.
KOffice, or anybody else for that matter would probably have better served their cause by not responding at all to this.
Over 1m developers and 40+ governments can give you some measure of it... they all have access to the Windows and Office source under Microsoft's shared source program I believe.
No - I think they have only ever said that Linux is inferior, and that they don't like the GPL type licenses all that much - that is about as far as their corporate comments have gone.
Lets say that it succeeds and you get a few hundred thousand moms and pops pulled over to Linux to run their Windows apps on this distro.
That is a few hundred thousand people who will eventually run into application support issues, driver issues, printing issues etc that they won't be able to turn to friends for help with.
That is a few hundred thousand people who will tell their friends that they tried Linux and it sucked.
The Linux community needs to concentrate on driver support, end user support and encouraging developers to migrate native applications to the platform. Anything else is just inviting failure.
... with a lot of ideas. He needs to prove that he can deliver on his own stuff before trying to meddle with business that he clearly does not understand though.

It is only 3 or 4 years since AOL owned the mindshare of the internet... nothing is set in stone.
... 3 was less than 7. So yes, trim.
There is some poor wording in the article, this actually appears to be 4 less business units over all, not 3 additional ones. There used to be seven.

... not dead, no. Pay-per-click pretty much makes up all of Google's revenue stream today.
What sort of parents do you have... for most "Dual Booting" infers putting some footwear on each foot before departing for a long walk in the hills.
Yes, both. Have you ever run a support organization looking after upwards of 3m PC users? :)

That means you're saying people only have a valuable opinion or can provide useful information if they're willing to pay you to listen to them.
Alternately, you're saying that you have no interest in what poor people have to say.

... of Apple moving into the PVR and home market. I'd love to stick an apple behind my TV for all media management.
That is a little like - "I was only curious about how much money was in the register, and how far I could run with it until I got caught".
... is that some sort of record for /.?
