Even now, most average computer users would be lost if you gave them a PC with no OS/drivers installed and a Windows disk, same as if you gave them a PC with no OS and a linux disk.
There is still is a chicken/egg issue between the gaming indutry and PC manufacturers.
For those who have been avoiding RealVnc on Windows beause it seemed to peg the CPU, 4.0 seems much better and faster.

I wonder if no one is buying handhelds with video (aside from the PSP) because they are waiting for Apple to do it with the iPod?

If you emerge sync && emerge -uD world you ARE at the latest version, no matter which live CD you installed with.
If it makes you feel better:
rm
ln -s
Wow, 5 minutes and no knock at the do

What we really need is ubiquitous cheap high speed synchronous wireless internet access.
Then there is no need for a hd. Just stream the MP3/movie, etc from your home server to your car, office, headphones, friends house.

DRM (ducks) would also be *slightly* less annoying as portability of content would be increased.
