Frankly, the time when a company should start developing the next version of their software is the first day the current version ships, and the time it should take to be released should depend on whether it is ready or not. You may have an ideal schedule of when you want it to come out, but it will always be later than that. Often months later. If anything, that date is when you stop putting new things in and you focus on finishing the features it has, and you don't cut out anything you've started implementing without dire cause. (Though clearly Longhorn promised too much.)
Windows 7 is going to be what Vista should have been and probably would have been if Vista hadn't been rushed.
Also, this idea you speak of, was it patented? I am guessing that it was not, as Microsoft has a well paid legal team at their disposal which would most likely prevent unauthorized usage of patented ideas.
A legal team such as the USPTO?
You can't patent an idea. An idea must be realized as an invention before it can be patented.
For example, you can't patent the idea of a flying man. You can however patent an airfoil suit that allows a man to fly.
So the solution for short-range remote control is to send a signal across the Internet to a remote service that relays that signal back to my local device?
But what if I don't want Echelon to know when I change channel away from glorious leader's press conference to American Idol?
"Trust me" is one of the last things you should say if you want people to trust you.

It's about the stuff you can't have, right? Like running into a liquor store with a.357 magnum in your hand, feeling the adrenaline pumping through your veins. I can make it happen. I can get you anything you want. Ya just have to talk to me. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me. I am your priest. I am your shrink. I am your main connection to the switchboard of souls. I'm the magic man. The Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it. You even think it. You can have it!
Just trying to help: there's no "t" in either "conscious" or "unconscious". There's also one's "conscience" which seems to want to be wrong for not being pronounced con-science. They are difficult words, easily leading to confusion. Then there's "conscientious" which does have a "t". "Consensual" is another troubling word in the group, especially with the root "consent" having its "t" change to an "s" and feeling wrong for being more like "sense" than "sent".
I look upon all those words with suspicion when I write them, and if I didn't have Firefox's built-in spell checker I'd be consulting online dictionaries every time, so don't feel bad or upset. (It can also take me as many as four tries to spell "thorough" correctly.)

* The password does not contain three or more characters used in any of the 24 previous passwords

Will the user run out of possible new passwords within 24 iterations of this policy?
Here it felt like ballot first (President Select by SCOTUS, bring in Diebold mechines), soapbox was second (free speech zones), then jury (unlawful combatants extraordinarily renditioned to Guantánamo Bay, get no trials, possibly dissidents next), and ammo was going to be last.
I was thinking more like gaming the defenders' strategy: take ballot box first, people take to their soapboxes; ammo next because since people can't go to the ballot box, some may skip to the next available box and you don't want it to be ammo; take jury box next, they can only go back to the soapbox; take soapbox last.

How long do you think Microsoft should take to release the next version of Windows if Vista is a raging success?
About two or three service packs long?

"If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it, for example, a passenger may be asked to remove it," [a BAA spokesman] said.
I'd hate to be on an airplane with an old Mac laptop when the hardware experiences an unimplemented trap.
There should be a difference between a T-shirt with a bomb on it and a T-shirt with a picture of a bomb on it.

There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
And if your goal is the opposite, what is the order in which one removes these boxes from use?
