That would work...except Photoshop 7 for os X and some of the other software you metioned is specifically optimized for the native OS. If you run it through Virutal PC you're not going to get the benefits of these amazing applications.
I have a distinct feeling that nothing will stop telemarketers from calling cell phones. Currently I only receive a few telemarketing calls a month on my cell phone. The reason for this is not embded in the virtue of telemarketers not wanting to call you! The reason lies in the fact that cell phone numbers are not published in a directory which the DMA could sell to Telemarkers. God help us if this ever were to happen.
True, but Google is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for a lot of people, to the point that "google" is frequently used as a generic verb. If this keeps up, at some point they will achieve monopoly power even though numerous competitors exist, just like Microsoft with desktop operating systems.
According to Webster's, a monopoly is "Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service." While Google has a large market share, and it continues to grow, there are stark differences between them and Microsoft. Google actually inovates freely, and puts out (IMHO) the best product on the market. Their technology is second to few if any. I don't think you can make this arguement about M$. You are comparing apples to oranges. Microsoft does have an unhealthy monopoly over the desktop o/s. There are few reasonable alternative choices for the average user. Even though I don't use M$ on the desktop, a huge percentage of people do! On the same token, Google is a great product, yet there are many feasable and widely availble alternatives. A large market share does not a monopoly make.
My "beef" as you call it enters into the discussion when my rights as a citizen of the United States are violated. As many others have posted, it's my right to be able to own a gun, and to do so anonymously. I don't have to defend the fact that I own it. Registration is a slippery-slope to go down in terms of rights to privacy. Just because I defend my rights to privacy doesn't mean that I'm guilty of anything.
