OK- I understand the sentiment but I'm going to reply out of respect for my dear friends that live in 3rd world countries.
You're using a different scale of "poor" at least on Crappy Economy, Poor Standards of Health, Poor standards of education, poor standards of living and especially poor standard of internet service.
You need to go somewhere 3rd world and live there for a few months to even begin to understand what you're claiming.
In the mean time, you can still hang out.

Get off the fence? "Choice" is choice. Why does it matter to you why someone chooses. If there's only a few righteous reasons to abort and embryo you probably ought to consider why the unrighteous reasons are unrighteous.
Incremental improvements from a (questionable) proven base are better than making too different and new.
Which is why the anthems of people are saying "Break backwards compatibility and make something that works." Essentially breaking backwards compatibility happens anyway, you might as well do it on purpose and with reason. Look at what Apple did from OS 9 until now. They have a somewhat structured, and semantic OS with stable and structured foundations...but they had to draw the line and axe compatibility somewhere.
I long for the day that MS starts over. It's not like what worked on XP will stop working on XP.
Now diff your list (7 and Vista) vs Windows 7 and XP. Finally count the things that were promised for Vista and compare this number to the-above. And then you'll see why Windows 7 is a service pack.
Which brings to question- what in the world will Vista SP2/SP3 fix? If they fix those things won't they just end up with Windows 7? If that's the case, what does a Windows 7 license offer over Vista?
I think a lot of Vista licensees are getting hammered, not only for buying a crappy OS but because they're going to get charged to have it fixed.
The only honorable thing to do would be to offer Windows 7 upgrades to Vista licensees at Media only cost. I don't think we stand a chance.
Correction: That shot was actually taken by my friend Jared, I was just standing there. Maybe you'll find more of his work when he gets back to the states or to a good internet connection: http://jjkohler.com/
Here's a shot I took the other night of the sky here in the south east of Africa. Sorry it's small (internet here ain't cheap, hehe) but the clouds and trees show that those are real stars in the sky not just sensor noise. enjoy,

Honestly, who uses wires anymore. When I get home my Macbook knows it- connects to my network, my mouse and keyboard. The only thing I need to plug in is the display.
I don't know- I was under the impression that all the cool kids stopped using DD-WRT ages ago. tc disciplines should work for any network connection though (eg eth0 eth1 eth2). I use it to automatically throttle bandwidth on a public wireless internet connection with a satellite uplink and a 17GB rolling 30 day cap.
And for any avid linux users out there, the community could really benefit from some updated documentation on how to properly use tc mostly the only documentation is the source, which is great for completeness and accuracy but not helpful at all if you want to get something done in less than 3 days.
Which basically means something like add a Token Bucket Filter queue discipline to the interface eth1 with the handle ee:0 (arbitrary if this is the only discipline) using those properties. There's other kinds of filters too. You can just run this on your Linux router/firewall (on the port from the router to your mac). You do have a Linux router and a Mac right? The best part is that since it's running on the router it's platform independent downstream. I think I saw a shareware bit on macupdate that does what you're asking directly on your mac (this might be it?) but if you already have a router in place the linux route is great and you can tweak it via ssh, switching add for change.

Please Jesus, Please.
Just FYI, I run a California campground website and the order of OS is Windows, Mac, iPhone, Linux for us (including the last 3 months)
We don't use IRL, we say AFK.

Fixed :)
Maybe Opera needs to get Gmail working correctly? Just sayin, it's a two way street in web development.
Well at least it worked for Microsoft.
Wow- same thing in my family.

And so we're left with the sticky problem of how to enforce the prevention of such an imposition.
Uhhh, why not? Could we just put a retaining clip on the housing?
It's being phased out on consumer gear. I'll miss it too. Hopefully USB3 will be as dreamy as they say.
