I've seen this technique used in "found skeletal remains" crime investigations and archeological investigations and have always wondered if the technique was accurate or just being done for dramatic effect.
Maybe they could dig up a skull of someone who has an available photograph. Give the skull to three "artists" and see how close the results compare.
At first glance, this looks like an egregious violation of most anti-trust laws. But digging a little deeper, one must consider that 'Linux', although a competitor of sorts', is not monetarily infringed by Microsoft's actions. 'Linux' doesn't lose revenue by Microsoft taking 'Linux' marketshare. IANAL, but I think anti-trust infringement requires either competitors or customers harmed, generally monetarily for an valid infraction to noted.
Now if RedHat, a competitor who could be monetarily harmed, were to complain, Microsoft could be held in violation of anti-trust laws

Why don't they just create a new intermediate classification like companies do when they realize their engineering managers can't manage. They give them a title like "Lead Architect" (no offense intended to all of the Lead Architects out there).
I propose that all obects orbiting a sun, less than 700KM in diameter be call "Planetoids". Not quite a planet, but not as low as a lowly asteroid.
Planetoids are valuable contributors to the solar system!

Hey, you know, if there is anybody who could pull off this Hardware Abstraction Emulation stuff, it'd be those sharp critters over at Connectix.....what's that, they were acquired by Microsoft?. Never mind.
Yea, its easy to annonymize Step 1. Unfortunately, its called "cash". Here's how the scenario plays out:
1) Use ATM card to withdraw cash from Bank A.
2) Walk across the street and feed cash into vending machine to "charge up" Moneo card at Bank B.
Kinda takes out all of the convenience of the card, though.
Who gets the float...as if I need to ask

The problem I see with these cards is that you essentially buy them from a bank.
Let's say you buy a $100 dollar card from the bank. The bank transfers $100 from YOUR account to their account from which it can be used by the bank to loan to other customers and earn interest (mortgage loans, auto loans, credit card loans, etc). So if it takes 2 months for you to use up the $100, you've "given" your capital to the bank to use for two months.
On top of the banks getting the "earning power" of your $100, they charge you to get your capital back through transaction fees! So at a minimum, the bank makes 50 cents on every card it "fills up". If it takes you two months to use the card, they get up to ~$2.00 more!
On top of all that, what happens to the money that never gets used, lost cards, broken cards, cards that have only 50 cents left on them so they get tossed into glove box. I'm sure the banks won't let go of that "unclaimed" cash without a fight.
No, I'll continue to use my ATM card that's linked to an interest bearing checking account, even though its a microscopic rate and live under the illussion that I have control of my cash.
Paul Hogan, the actor who immortalized the Australian bush-wise character 'Crocodile Dundee' was seen being led by authorities. Sources say Mr. Hogan was preparing the grill when, after choosing substandard charcoal briquettes and becoming frustrated at the lack of heat being generated by said briquettes, dumped an inordinate amount of starter fluid on the frigid pyramid of coal. The ensuing flare-up quickly leaped to surrounding trees and student housing.
While being led off, Hogan was heard to say, "all I wanted to do was toss just one more shrimp on the barbie."
