As I said the save function is hidden down in a menu structure under a very odd looking control. I first encountered this on a friends machine when I was trying to put together a quick document. The Office button is not the obvious way to save things to a new or experienced user. This is a productivity tool that will require retraining of users and for a UI design that will last maybe one or two versions of office before the next weird thing is used to replace it.
The slight flaw is that the gadget that is sent out is interchangeable between banks - it adds no extra security other than that supplied by the card. A hypothetical criminal can be expected to have one.
The new Office 2007 UI sucks for existing users.
Great trick - you have to retrain your entire workforce on what is known as a productivity application.
For example create a new word document.
The default ribbon here does not include the obvious save button. A function that was available with a single click is now hidden deep in a menu structure (admitedly the key binding of ctrl-s still works). It is a complete WTF.
My father who has been using spreadsheets longer than there has been windows could not figure out the new UI. He decided to uninstall Office 2007 and has moved to Open Office - without any propting from me.
What if the secret were to be text from a readily available book. You remember the formula to get it (vowels => number of say a verse of a given edition of the bible). You can easily recreate your secret at the other end from a readily available book. Hell you can even carry the book with you - can you imagine the uproar if customs were to impound a bible!
It's stronger than that - he is refusing help from his own party to fight the campaign and has asked the other opposition party not to stand against him.
The key point of the OSS solution is that you may find a way to add a small, valuable change to the product and go use it the same day. That can be hard to impossible on a closed source solution.
The GIMP has filters for turning photos into various artistic styles. For example a photo may be transformed to look like a pencil drawing or an oil painting.
The GPL does not have to be the only licence on some code. If you find some GPL code that you want to use without invoking the GPL then cut a deal with the copyright owner of that fragment of code.
Following the rules of the GPL is the price for using GPL code. If you don't like the price then either renegotiate it with the copyright owner or don't use it. This is no different to the licencing cost of a tiny part of a proprietry component suite.
The odd thing is that Borland had been doing this for years with Delphi's VCL. They did not need a new licence that only allows reading the code - copyright was enough for them and should have been enough for Microsoft. It was this openness in the code than allowed a lively third party market for feature rich add-ons (it is much easier to expand something if you can see the entire inner workings).
It would appear that the new licence only exists to muddy the open source waters.
Generics in C# are sufficient for the collection class scenarios. Anything that is not required for that has been left for a later version - which has not yet been released/announced. This is not to say that it is not a powerful construct - just don't try to implement all of the clever C++ template design patterns.
I have yet to see a well structured VB6 app.
The power of VB6 came from the third party controls market and they are slowly losing support/documentation.
There is the simple solution:

Watch out for one of the two recent service packs - Daleks can now fly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek_variants).
G5 includes Japan where U5 has New Zealand.

With multiple independent implementations that can interoperate over a defined test suite.

I know of at leat one VB6 app that is still in production. They need to split the VB6 from the VB.NET stats to make things clearer.
Probably less than Blair did.
