"Viking navigation hypothesis under foggy and cloudy skies requires more light"
This article speaks of the Viking sun-dial for sunny days and a less-known sunstone for the foggy ones. Interesting theory, if anything.
While Itanium2 would be a plausible solution for MacOS servers, I somehow doubt that Intel will be able to cool these wafers down and manage them in a way that is suitable for laptops and low-end desktops.
Well, let's go back some years to find swedish inventor Håkan Lans creating PC color graphics, a useable computer pointing device, safe flight control (through something resembling "P2P GPS") - who has tried to hinder his creativity? US government agencies and major US corps.
Let's move on and find Ericsson software engineers creating AXE telephone switches, Bluetooth etc. Keep up, and we find Lavasofts Ad-Aware helping out most n00bs from getting the most out of skunkware. Pointsec, a swedish company producing the industry top class encryption sw (note: biggest customer is teh US military!). Yes, KaZaA and Skype are also created by swedes, ironic - isn't it!
Oh, did you know who actually made most of super-US bimbo Britney Spears smash hits? A swede called Max Martin. Go figure!
Wait a minute, isn't this the tactics used for the xbox?
...but hey, you still end up dealing with MS support issues, security flaws and sw patent issues all over again. I, for one, want to be free to refuse offers, without having share my bed with a piece of a dead horse.
Sounds like Hollywood is taking over the grammar... or is it just the dark side from Redmond?

"there is a part of Malmö where 90% do not have a (legal) job"
I take it you refer to the Rosengård area (where btw Juventus soccerstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic originates from). Malmö is a town of ~250.000 inhabitants, the third largest city in Sweden. The Rosengård area constitutes ~21.000 inhabitants from as many as 50 ethnical groups. The official unenployment rate is 7% although I do agree that it would be much more in reality, but not the phenomenal 90% you claim, including illegal jobs! Where did you get such a figure from? Just to give a perspective, that would be ~19.000 people you are talking about, including senior citizens and babies. Your 90% claim could be intepreted as hordes of vikings and immigrants doing nothing but piracy and illegalities (at least by some/.:ers with no clue about Sweden, bork bork!)
Blaiming the union, taxes and sick leave benefits for swedish crime rates and poverty? Sheesh, you gotta be kidding me. Yes, I live in Malmö and I do not recognise the picture you are trying to post in/. of Sweden in a decay. IANA politician or patriot.

Seriously:
Rouge is also french for red. Coq rouge is a red rooster (which also could be the origin of the word for cockroach, how suitable!). Try thinking a little bit outside the frame of english next time.
However much I would like it like that, please name one enterprise that has done it. No, not only implementing Linux, but actually run the entire enterprise with FOSS.
I for one, don't believe that an enterprise (that typically want profit) has a strategy to buy/build/blend FOSS. They want stability, performance and even security(!) in their systems, not FOSS for FOSS sake.
If a certain FOSS application/system fits the picture, fine, but it appears that it still doesn't apply for an entire enterprise suit.
You are on the spot with the key issue; to start somewhere and start in smaller scale with the apps.
There are several apps that can live side-by side with MS products without major harm done; Mozilla, Mozilla Mail, OOo as examples.
But before the migration is complete:
1. Don't underestimate the power of MS Office macros, VBA-scripts and specially the users that made them. They can be hard-necked.
2. Don't forget about the ActiveX components and other "MS standards", XML parsers etc. too often with connections to business apps that needs to be rewritten. (Of course they should have been industry standards from the start, but most corp. environments aren't.)
3. The PIM's from PocketPC's that people are used too synch with Outlook is also an issue. Yes, there are FOSS alternatives for synching, but you have to take that into the equation aswell, adding complexity (and cost!) to the migration.
4. I like the idea of guerilla migration when no-one's looking:)
All in all, the business case, with a clear budget for migration costs including and all the marketing, education (end-user, sys.mgr.) and communication efforts needed, must to be committed to be able to migrate successfully.

But there are really interesting shipwrecks, including some from WWII. Here's one example of a soviet sub near Stockholm: http://www.abc.se/~pa/uwa/s7.htm And a small selection of other misc wrecks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shipwrecks_in_the_Baltic_Sea

Exchanging the F5 key could be very expensive, depending on what keyboard you use.

Yes, hex is way more art than this: http://www.makezine.com/blog/MAKE_599.jpg

When I look at Microsoft that way, I think of the first Predator movie, with the well armed troops, shooting around at random, and hitting nothing.
Poncho: Nowhere, not a fucking trace, no blood, no bodies, we hit nothing!

I used to go get a coffee at this time at work. Seemed like an appropriate time for a break. Nowadays I just drink my java anytime a day.

Speaking of which; how many years was ICQ in Beta?
The idea of killer bees swarming software gives the phrase killer app a whole new dimension.
I would rather upgrade my connection to broadband than get a new release of notepad. But that's just me.
