What happened was that after this incident bursted on the Internet (in China the Internet has become the place where you could see *some* free press), the Yunnan government (the department in charge of press) invited some bloggers to investigate. It was like an one-day trip, and nothing like "official investigation". I bet the police department wasn't very happy and cooperative, and really this was more like a PR gesture than anything else. I think it was stupid, but did show the power of Internet.
The department of press might or might not have good intention, and this is unprecedented. Interesting to see how Internet affects the transparency in the once-secretive Chinese government. Over the last two years there have been numerous occasions where government officials were found guilty after the net disclosed their suspicious wealth and activities. Nothing big fish, but still interesting and progress.
Well, because the old ones eventually will get end-of-life.
Most users don't care about which OS to use - they just come along with a new computer. So why not Vista?
My workstation is stilling running FC4 - why? Because it still works for me as a development machine, and supported by our IT. But I won't come and say it's better than FC10 although I have no reason to upgrade.
Hardware is buggy. BIOS is buggy. Drivers are buggy.
That doesn't matter one bit.
As an operating system and integrator, the whole system has to work. There are tons of quirks in Linux Kernel to work around BIOS and hardware bugs, because it's simply the reality you have to face. If you can't handle non-perfect hardware or firmware, then you don't make operating systems.
Think of it this way. Some day when your PC really died, no one would help you to reset it because they would thought it was just a screensaver! So stop using the screensaver!

Can someone summarize exactly what we have achieved in this case?
I know suspend/resume on Linux isn't the best supported feature, but it cannot be stopped???!!! Look at me on a freshly installed bash 4.0:
# shutdown -h now
See, it can be stopped perfe
Pewwww, finally Microsoft comes to the rescue and takes the heat from us, as always. Bob, send the excel team a cake.
It's always been the case Microsoft is asked for a refund. Look who is laughing now!
The new major release fixes several remaining bugs in the 3.x releases
That's great, but they forgot to mention how many new bugs were introduced.

What's so hard to understand?
Lawyers are like hitmen. They just live on the blood, but there is always OTHER PEOPLE who hire them to do the dirty work.
What if we use it to share windows 7? Is it gonna work?
those from the International Federation of Pornographic Industry. I know I am guilty!
The satellites collide YOU!
New I-m-a-Mac ad revealed: a one-year-old monkey is going to show you how he could use a Mac to do the same thing!
Comcast wanted to present another kind of superbowl. This time you only got to see the outside, but there were multiple of them.

That's right - giving back.
So the H1B holders work hard, earn less, and then keep getting slapped on their faces every time a left-wing politician opens his mouth?
Sure, otherwise why does it have an "i" in the name. (just to clarify it DOES NOT mean "idiot")
And cops who are abusing their power.
Every communist country loves Linux.
RMS must be proud.
And "think tank"?
I want nothing to do with that.
They haven't made moves to alienate their customer base like "Product activation" either.
To be fair, Apple isn't a software company. Their premiums come from their pricy hardware, so they don't worry about piracy that much.
Yet people cheer at Windows 7 like it wasn't so.

For a moment I read it as "Undeserved". I was like, WTF?
So the worst offenders on Windows are all from Unix.

Vista SP1 is consistently slower than Vista, so expect the final Windows 7 will be slower than "early-stage" as well.
