It is not totally burn and go, thanks to Microsoft and the EULA, but very close. I was just updating my images today, as a matter of fact. Several clients have the latest "It burns when I pee" support calls scheduled.
Have you used Win2K lately? It is better than XP in many cases. The problem is that;
1) The improvements are often not improvements.
2) The bloat is greater. 3) Stuff is released before it it ready.
4) Microsoft pushes people, kicking and screaming, to the next half baked version.
5) They drop support for emerging technologies on the older OS so you have to move.
Windows 98 could still be viable is it had USB support that worked, and could run Office 2k3. Win2k would still be viable longer if it could run Office 2k7. And Dx10 may be the XP killer. But one thing NOT driving this is customer demand.
Or perhaps, now that he's given them some more rope, he's sitting back quietly while the RIAA's lawyers continue to demonstrate a pattern of abuse of process, in case they come up with some clearer examples.
A friend of mine (yes he is an attorney, but I like him anyway) described our legal system accurately. You line up both sides and through money at each other until one side gives up. He is amazing at his job...

Stop fucking stealing and you wont need the services of the ambulance chasing dick who submits all this biased bullshit.
I would submit that all the false positives that the RIAA has ensnared were not protected by being innocent. Defending yourself from a wrongful prosecution is very expensive in this country. A fact that the RIAA uses to its advantage.
Not all cities are the same. My mothers house is a 15 minute DRIVE to the store. The Planned communities around here mean up to 5 miles with no commercial space. You gonna run light rail to each house? Not so light... The light rail that is in Houston is eliminating cars on the road, but only by hitting them.
Quick view in a GUI, what servers are one what OS, at what patch level? What have system updates ready? (Single click to update them) What optional packages do I have available and on how many systems? How does this compare with licensing? What systems are between 70% and 80% disk full or disk usage average? CPU? Memory? Yes, all of these things can be done on Linux by hand with many components. One package combining all this into a clean GUI anyone can use that is multi-platform (and not in the 6-7 figure price range like BMC) would sell well. I sell a lot of Linux desktop systems, but I can't touch the enterprise. They all want a GUI they can understand to monitor and manage all there systems. Microsoft MOM (formerly SMS) does this for Windows easily. Adding Linux support means that Microsoft owns the Linux desktop in the enterprise. I could see this happening all to easily, and I would hate it.
Many people. Have you ever used MOM or something like it? There are no FOSS products that can give an overview and easy management of a hundred or so Linux systems like MOM, or BMC, or CA or Tivoli can do with Windows. Attitudes like your are why FOSS is so far behind. Many people want an easy way to manage 100 desktops before they deploy 100 desktops. And while Microsoft makes some crappy products, they are always easy. Microsoft could own this market very fast, and that should scare you. The fact is that all the easy ways to manage a large number of Linux systems are closed source. Why is that?
PS: If I am wrong, please post some links. I hope I am wrong, because SSHing into all the systems I support is killing me.

Make sure the resized partition will not be over 75% full when done. Run defrag before starting. This eliminates most of the problems and makes the process much faster. I have lost no partitions when done this way, other than an early Hardy beta. Do not expect a beta to be safe.:)
It is funny watching the tracker crumble. It runs up to about 5-6 thousand seeders and leechers, and falls down. Then comes back up with 7, (not 7 thousand) and starts growing.:) Never seen a tracker with this much trouble. Perhaps they should post to pirate bay?;)
Of course the tracker keeps falling over. I keep going from a few thousand seeders and leechers to a few hundred and back. I am seeding like crazy, however.

The scary part is that the OP believes this. That means the *IAA actually has the general public believing that torrents are illegal. Here we have proof positive that there is a legal use, as every 6 months the net gets a huge kick in the teeth from LEGAL downloads, but the general public doesn't believe it. Unless we fix that we have lost the war, regardless of the facts.
"Microsoft and Novell believe big enterprises in China are willing to pay to have the US firms keep hybrid systems updated and running and for assurances that there is permission to use patented software involved."
I was thinking this myself... I could be that people don't understand it. But it could be that the products don't work all they well. Or it could be that a bad network design makes it all pointless anyway. But get HP or BMC in there with a big network plan that includes security, and it works.
I think they have it backwards. Security isn't a utility, it is a highly technical skill. You need a person, not a box.

Because of the license incompatibility that prevents it from running in the kernel. A usermode filesystem has issues.
Why does everyone think there has to be a winner? Which is better; A hammer or a screwdriver? Anyone who smugly dismisses either if a fool.

I have about 50 Ubuntu desktops in production. My experience has been the opposite. However, I only use the official drivers in the repos.
Lots of bug fixes, including the partition editor. I could not install on 2 systems with the RC, but could on a daily point build.
