But early adopters are the people most likely to use plugins, and also the people most likely to try out chrome.
Certainly, I tried out chrome, and ditched it when I realised how many ads there were on web pages. I'm back to Firefox and Safari with adblock plugins.
If it was heard in a Californian state court, and it was considering state laws, then the case would not be binding in Ohio. In that case, it would be correct to talk about the Californian courts and not the American courts.
I come from Scotland, and I put England in my summary because it was an English court that made the ruling, which is not binding in Scotland, as Scotland has a separate legal system.
Some people in England make the mistake of thinking that the English legal system is the British legal system, but it isn't.
It was heard in an English court. It is binding in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland might look at it. Scotland will not, as they have a completely different legal system.
That works with Vista connected to a Windows 2003 domain, but I don't think it would work on standalone Vista or Vista on a Windows 2008 domain, because then you don't have an administrator account to "runas".
You generally get a sudo or su prompt when you try to write to/usr/, so I don't see a problem with getting a UAC prompt when you try to write to c:\program files\.
Having to enter a password to install a new piece of software is fine, and if you are a sysadmin in a work environment, you aren't going to tell you staff what the password is, so they can't install software without your permission.
The big difference as I see it is that with linux distros, you generally get the sudo prompt when you enter a control panel application, where as in windows, you get it every time you try to do something in there.
The Windows way probably is more secure, but it is also more annoying.
It looks complicated, doesn't show up on a search as "normal", and generally causes people to ask "what the hell is he doing? Why the hell does he want to store his data like that?".
Mandriva was previously Mandrake, before some French company of a similar name sued them for trademark infringement. It started off life as Red Hat with KDE instead of Gnome as default and compiled for Pentium rather than 386 processors, and they have since developed their own installer and system administration tools to replace the Red Hat ones.
That's because there's a lot more computers in the world than there were in 2001. It's got nothing to do with Microsoft, and a lot to do with economic improvements in India and China.
True, we paid for Northern Rock, Cheshire Building Society, Derbyshire Building Society and Bradford & Bingley ourselves.
But for Halifax Bank of Scotland, our biggest mortgage bank (a bit like Washington Mutual except four times bigger), the cost was estimated at about £100bn which is more than our entire National Health Service budget for the year. The Federal Reserve lent $180bn the day before to "some European central banks" to help them with some exceptional problems in their banking system. $180bn translates to £100bn at then current exchange rates, and the failure of Britain's largest mortgage bank, and I believe it is also the largest in Europe is pretty exceptional.
Point 10: That's fine until you want to deauthorise the music on your computer so you can transfer it to another one. Then you need to have an internet connection.

about 5 minutes for me.
Apart from Outlook Web Access, nobody else had ajax when GMail launched. And nobody else had 1GB of email space.
What are Chrome's unique selling points?

The article is wrong in that respect.
I'm sure you could argue that Vista "improves the way a system runs".
After all, you get nice semi-transparent title bars, and it asks you to cancel or allow every time you move a desktop icon.
If it is not a properly designed cellphone perhaps?
Walk away to where exactly? They are all the same.
It's more like su than sudo.
The equivalent would be
su -c whatever

You mean a bit like the AppleTV?
The only problem with it at the moment is that you can't actually watch TV on it.
Basically the unique features for any distro are their installer, system administration tools and package management.
It looks complicated, doesn't show up on a search as "normal", and generally causes people to ask "what the hell is he doing? Why the hell does he want to store his data like that?".
Law enforcement don't do brute force attacks. They do rubber hose attacks, and I very much doubt TrueCrypt is secure against them.
That will just make them want to know what you are trying to hide.
For the average non-technical border guard, saving them on an unmounted partition is probably better.
Or go to an internet cafe / wifi place, and upload them back home before your trip.
Mandriva is not related to Xandros.

We've been using it for the last 7 years or so. Why can't we use it for another 5?
True, we paid for Northern Rock, Cheshire Building Society, Derbyshire Building Society and Bradford & Bingley ourselves.

Do you think we are going to object to our banks being bailed out with your money? Of course not.
On the other hand, they have the whole weekend off to plan for it.

That sort of machine should boot Windows 95 in about 15 seconds. There must be something wrong.
