So two planets with space faring civilizations are not aware of aliens mining a planet in their system at such a scale as to reduce its mass by 2/3? And a warmongering race that has access to a impressive military force waits until after 2 planets in their system are destroyed by these aliens to act?
You are aware that the OO.o codebase was mostly written and maintained by another company (StarDivision) over several years before Sun bought it and opened it aren't you?
I don't know what you've been reading but the pre-release publicity I've seen MS pushing says that it's mainly software that can't run with restricted permissions that will have a problem, and that MS will be virtualizing parts of the registry and file system for programs like that so that they think they still have free reign.
Windows 95 had the capability to do per file icons too (so yes System 7 would have had them beat by a few years). There just weren't any icon handlers bundled in. I do remember some 3rd party ones for images files being available around the same time as the Win95 launch.
Well, when MS last had preliminary API reference documentation up on MSDN there was mention of a synchronization API to import/export data from foreign file systems and such (ie: PDAs, SQL databases, some as yet unwritten OSS WinFS clone).
As for supporting dual booters, I wouldn't bother. Too much of a niche. And how would you like having to commit to the design of your internal data structures for the next 10 years?
Actually, WinFS isn't meant for all that stuff. It's for user data. Only "My Documents" and whatever other individual "WinFS Stores" a user creates would be under control of WinFS. The rest of the system (ie: c:\windows) is still plain old NTFS.
Now that I see those pictures, I think older versions of MS Office (like Office 95) had this exact feature, though I can't remember if it displayed a tooltip or launched a full help window. Office 2003 doesn't seem to have the button in question anymore, though the stock icon is still available in VS.Net 2003.
Except the QT Commercial License explicity states that you must develop a program using the Qt commercial library from scratch with that library. You could GPL it after the fact (or simultaneously), but you can't take something already developed with the GPL library and switch to the commercial library later.

Good thing all the water is gone/frozen. That could be quite a mess; a great tasting and great for you mess.
MS is licensing the patents they have on these formats royalty-free, like they do on the current Office 2003 XML formats.
The way they are doing it may not be GPL compatible, but it certainly isn't "pay us to use it or we'll sue you".
Is this where we get to list the bazillion features that KDE has copied from Windows over the years?
Yeah, three times in 20 years. Those bastards.
Behold the BTX Form Factor
That "couple of years" that MS was backpedaling MDI was more like 10 (!) years ago when Windows 95 was released.
Amazing how time flies eh?

Too bad they aren't actually charging for the beta eh?

Maybe you are thinking of the Task Gallery
Yeah, here's a screenshot of the new design
Ok, so I get 4 moving targets and loose the advatanges described by Fitt's Law on half of them.
I guess that's the price one pays to get a good looking OOBE screenshot.
And I love that screenshot with the taskbar that has room for about 1.5 open window buttons at 1024x768 resolution.

You need to read the Qt Commercial License. Apps originally developed with the GPL Qt can't use the Commercial Qt after the fact.

No it wasn't and isn't.

The ambiguity of the term "free" strikes again. Though to be fair, the OP did explicitly link to gnu.org
I wonder is JP IV will be as big a turkey as JP III.
PS: I actually enjoyed JP III, but the pun must come first.
There was a Doc Savage movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072886/ but it doesn't sound like it was very good.
I think I actually saw it in the theater when I was around 5.
