1. The bank bought a computer, and chose not to use some software bundled with it, the same as if I "bought" Norton Antivirus with a new computer but never used it because I choose to use AVG.
Usually you don't buy NAV with new computer. You get free time limited version.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Active Directory is something not even used by Office unless you are running a SERVER VERSION of Office, which 99.9% of the people using Office do not. Also the 'Active Directory' requirements are NOT even exclusive to Windows Server Active Directory Server.
Some Office features require sharepoint server. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 requires "one of the following servers: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition, or Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, plus the latest service pack (see Other for additional requirements). Running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition requires SQL Server 2000 to be installed on a separate computer.". And in order to use clients with Windows Server, you will need server cals or Windows 2000/XP Pro license for each client workstation.
As for the CALS, do you NOT realize that each VERSION of Office is its own CAL? That is what it is, a client application, there are no additional server CALs needed. Even Outlook qualifies to be a full CAL for Exchange.
Nope. Exchange CALs give right to run Outlook. Outlook or Office itself does not provide Exchange client license.

I guess we are reading different manual files. I do have trouble understanding 'man 3 setlocale' and info about blowfish crypt format. Blowfish crypt differs and setlocale does not work as documented.
In three years company redesigned Linksys router boxes. Users get small plastic boxes that use different coloring. Router hardware goes worse. What happens when you cut out QoS support in order to save things.
I'd rather have eight shitty alternatives to choose from than to have one mandatory one. Hell, I even voted last election.
Check all those microsoft licencing options. LIC, SA, NL, OPL, B, C, AE. Unlimited choices that can drive you nuts when you want only Office or Windows on more than one computer.
Last time sales person suggested server software, he offered overpriced version that was not needed for used setup.
IOW: If I want to buy MacOS X, Apple cannot refuse to sell it to me, even if I don't own a Mac.
I think you can't buy MacOS X. Apple sells only upgrades. You get full version of MacOS X together with Apple hardware.
Theoretically you could buy same Apple hardware that comes with MacOS X, dump it to trash container and then use MacOS X purchased with Apple hardware for hacking on generic hardware.
Intel uses "Intel® Core(TM) Duo" and "Intel® Core(TM) Solo". Not Solo Core and Duo Core terms. I am pretty sure that they will use "Intel Core" name for their CPUs.
> Sure it is. Free is anything that you do not have to purchase to obtain.
Free for personal use is not free enough. You can try it at home, but you will have you pay if you want to use it at work. Free AVG is adware for personal use. It attaches footer to every outgoing email.
If software is not open and distributed for free, author can change licensing terms and leave you on ice. See Aida32 for example.
My experience says that if I depend on some program, it must be free, with source and without any redistribution, modification restrictions. Such program will remain free no matter what happens to it's creator.

I think IE for Mac codebase differs from IE for Windows. Completely different rendering engine, no ActiveX support. Only possible issue - IE for Mac has bugs and nobody releases fixed packages.

Software bugs can be fixed. Human errors can't be.

Are you sure that is it not related to the fact that there is no .docx and .xlsx viewer or converter?

Correct link - TMDA
TMDA can be only last line of defense and it annoys people.

Depends on your definition of "free". Closed source and free only for personal use is not "free"

You have browsed to warez site that exploits anything in order to get something installed on client's machine.
