Meanwhile, Ms. Glick-Weil allowed an FBI computer-forensics examiner to work with information-technology specialists at the library to narrow down which computers might have been used to send the threatening message. They determined that three computers were implicated in the alleged crime. Late that evening, the FBI received a warrant to cart away the three computers.

"We were able to both protect public safety and also protect the rights of people, the sense of privacy of many, many innocent users of the computers," he said. "Had we given them the computers, they would have gotten to see e-mails from ordinary citizens doing ordinary things and would not have preserved privacy."

But that doesn't help me if I don't own the same games the reviewer has used. Or I haven't kept them installed.
It bugs me when reviews run only a certain set of games when reviewing things. I want to be able to run the same benchmarks that the reviewer has used.
I want a single program that will give me some idea about how a system and all its components compare to another system. I want to know how well my old video card will compare with one I'm thinking of buying.
When I build a new system, I usually go online and compare similar systems to see if mine is running in a similar manner. Can be useful when you've just installed a new system with a bunch of new tech you have never had before and you may have screwed up some settings somewhere.
I don't want to have to buy and install a bunch of different programs and games and rerun all of them to get a benchmark score.
I understand that real world benchmarks are required. I also know 3dmark isn't perfect, I know about all the cheats that have gone on in the past. But it's the closest thing I have access to that will give me a figure I can use.
You say that some people where you work could be switched over as the main tools for most of the group are available on Linux. But some of the tools are not.
I think that is a pretty good argument to keep everyone on XP. In this case, ALL the tools are available on XP but not on Linux. So why should the business go to the trouble of supporting two desktop environments?
But as the article stated, even if you use another browser, there are still circumstances where you are forced to use IE. Eg windows update. Sure, you could download and apply the patches manually, but I don't think that was the point he was trying to make.

Given how grotty the current ipods become just from handling, I wonder how are they going to handle a screen where you are forced to touch it?

It's a crime you haven't been modded up for this.

I would say that shows that their campaign, evil as it was, worked.
It's been 2 years since you saw one of the ads, but you still remember the product name.
