While I would prefer to recommend pure Linux solution,
I'm afraid there is no SVN connector for OpenOffice, and M$ collaboration features are well
superior to those of OpenOffice or AbiWord.
If you really want to teach "intro to programming" class, don't bother about showing them "under the hood". Select simplest IDE with hinting, error highlighting, so they spot problems more quickly and learn what you want them to learn.
For Python I'd recommend DrPython or like (PyShell/PyCrust/PyAlaMode).
Never seen beginner's environment for Java though.
Of all CEO-s I was under, it was always the understanding of the bussiness that mattered most, and company thrived under physicists, chemists or phylologists as long as they knew the bussiness model best.
The problem is to have one solution that Works For Me(TM), and Is Fast and Stable...
Only LoopAES is in mainstream kernel right now and most people don't like partition meddling at all. I dream about one-click in a Konqueror menu "Encrypt this folder".
Just support Ubuntu and Fedora.
The support for Red Hat and Debian will emerge by the virtue of the process... and would covered most of the market anyway.
I think it is misrepresentation: most people blame OpenOffice for not having features that they actually care about, they don't blame about unused features.
Example: when my office assessed viability of OpenOffice vs MS Office + Wine, it came that OpenOffice has much less mature collaboration features and the exchange of precisely formatted documents with outside vendors may lead to ugly looks.
While the latter is solved by using PDF, the earlier made it impossible for us to use OpenOffice, because every paper we write must be reviewed and modified by many people.
PS Yet another story of headline news which is essentially disinformation by clueless journalist?
Microsoft just tries to build-up the buzz-word about windows with this and other recent articles ("10 reasons why to buy Vista" - should be - "10 ways Vista tries catch up to Linux and Mac OSX".
No interesting information content here... I bet that accident was intentional.
The reason: industry benefits from status quo.
The new engineer doesn't necessarily have a way to put his new chip, because there is awesome amount of money needed to develop it. The situation could change once there would be enterprise decoupling between physical details of the manufacturing process and the designer group. It has already begin, but still the processors need to be migrated through many steps of complicated technologies, that need to be licensed for an awesome amount of money...
I guess - not many would run Unix under MS hypervisor.
There are open-source Xen and well-tested vmware already.
In order to decrease feature duplication modern hypervisors hand out many crucial tasks to main OS so the solution inherits weaknesses of the OS.
Even if MS hypervision tech would not inherit insecurities of Windows, there would be justified fear that their software development methodology introduces more security bugs into hypervisor code.

They'd do better if they just relicense Windows gaming API (DirectX).

Unless you look at Web-based Office suites: Zoho, Google Writely......for a custom application, I'd rather look at FPGA.

First time is the hardest, but everything gets used to.
To make it a snap, I do on-the-fly validation when I write web pages.
The fact is: the Google never has problems like this. ;-)
Maybe time for Blizzard to ask Google to provide internet?
Yes, they have a tough engineering challenge.
Yes, it is made worse by their own bad engineering practices.
No, they are no match for the task.
Probably you.

...seems better than that of OpenOffice?
Are you sure they eroded?
The styrofoam peanuts may have been scraped by fish, but the substance may not have been deteriorated.

Citanium doesn't sound right, maybe rather cellar performance?
I would highly appreciate if someone pointed me to the mentioned Chinese fossils' track record of forgery, fabrication, and fraud.
PS Complaint without URL looks like a slander :-).
I would prefer Slashdot to show a interesting new content.
This one is just reiterating buzz-word about vaporware, that has been posted before.

There REXX in Debian and dosbox for Dos programs.
Linux multitasking has:Hard-drive overload may slow you down sometimes, but guys are taking great strides with the 2.6 I/O schedulers and capability to switch off the swap.
IBM knows what it does.The reason: industry benefits from status quo.

Considering the total cost of security flaws in terms of both lost revenues and company prestige:
Did Microsoft ever ask for independent security audit of whole existing Windows code and API designs?
If so, could you tell us, how big these costs were?
[I put design flaws, as the most recent WMF format flaws and many macro vulnerabilities were examples of these.]
Did Microsoft ever consider paying outside company for security review of every new component that is introduced to Windows?
I tried to switch "Satellite view" on my home, and got message: Sorry, we have no satellite imagery on this.
Maybe you submit photos when you finish? :-)
(Best read with how-to-make ;-)
Yeah, I would also prefer something even larger but with 24h+ battery life.
