Windows 2003 server has a pretty good track record. It is also pretty much unusable as a desktop operating system in its default setup.
It is the desktop offerings that have a problem, and that is because they have to run programs written in the Windows 9x days when there was no separation between program and data files.
There's two problems here. Firstly, botnets, which give spammers control of a lot of IP addresses, and secondly ISPs that give you a NAT based connection - like AOL and most cellphone connections. They will have lots of customers signing up for hotmail accounts through the same NAT router.
I think you will probably find that they already limit the number of emails people can sent. That's why they need to sign up for new accounts. And if they trace the spam back to a botnet, or someone who claims to be infected with botnet software, there isn't much they can do.
I make it 14 versions of Server 2008. I think you have missed Home Server, Small Business Server, Small Business Server Premium, Essential Business Server Standard and Essential Business Server Premium.
On the Vista side, you may have missed Business Embedded and Ultimate Embedded.
Go to realtor.com and have a look at houses in Detroit costing = $100. There's quite a lot of them, and I wouldn't pay as much as $100 to buy one of them, as they are semi-demolished huts in a crap area of the city.
These houses have hundreds of thousands of dollars of mortgages secured on them which the banks have no hope whatsoever of recovering.
Anyone who thinks one of these piles of rotting 1930s timber is going to "recover" in price needs to have their head examined.

There was a run on the Bank of East Asia in Hong Kong; and I think you will find in good time that Chinese and Japanese banks have lost a lot of money in subprime mortgage bonds.
Essentially, councils do everything below central government level, but it varies depending on where you live. Where I live, I have a borough council, which does all the local stuff - mainly roads excluding motorways and some A roads, education, social care, bins, trading standards, planning permission, building control, environmental health. Then the next level up is Gordon Brown's government at Westminster. It covers the central area of a fairly large town, but not some of the suburbs, which are covered along with rural areas by neighbouring district councils which do the same things.
In some parts of England, local government is split between county councils and either district or city councils.
In London, it is split between borough councils and the Greater London Authority. The GLA deals with some of the transport functions that would otherwise be central government's responsibility.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own parliaments which are not regarded as councils. They do some of the work that is done by the Westminster government in England. In the case of Northern Ireland, they also do some of the work that is done by councils on the mainland.
Depends what you are looking for. Your 17" is more of a desktop replacement than a portable. I prefer something I can carry around without breaking my arm, and my hardware performance requirements aren't that great.
I'm not sure netbooks are good for gnu/linux. They are positioning it as an almost operating system for people who are too cheap to buy a real computer. That's not a good long term position to be in a marketplace.

If you ever end up with an uptime of more than 5 weeks in Vista, you should worry. It means you haven't installed the latest patches.
The 32bit version can only cope with 3.4GB

Would you count a flaw in MS Word as a flaw of Windows? It doesn't ship with Windows, but most people buy it separately and install it.
Does it list exploits for each distro separately? Does it list exploits for all the different mail servers etc you might choose to run on it?
They have warnings like
"Warning, your computer is broadcasting its IP address over the internet. With this information, any website you visit knows where you are".
Well of course it does. With out that information, how is it going to send the web page you asked for.

The problem with puns and homonyms is that they don't translate well

Or is it a rebadged copy of Windows Web Server 2008.
They do. Usually they shut down the bank on Friday night, and you have the money in a new bank account on Monday morning.
In the case of WaMu, they shut it down on Thursday night, and you had the money in a Chase account on Friday morning.
In the case of Wachovia, it was shut down on Monday morning, and you got your new account with Citi that very same morning.
In England, Bradford & Bingley was shut down on Sunday night, and the money was sitting in Abbey National ready to withdraw on Monday morning.

Looks very much like it is pointing at France to me.
Cloud computing is a buzzword, just like e-business was before it.
Webmail is useful, but I do like to have control over my data. So my webmail server is sitting right here, underneath my feet.
Admittedly it runs MS Exchange Server, so RMS won't approve.
Well, largest Metropolitan Borough Council that isn't a City.

But usually the VPN password and the server password are the same.
I'm surprised they keep stuff like that on the desktop machines.

Upgrading the OS is not recommended unless you are using an image supplied by the phone manufacturer. I don't think HTC supply upgrades.
Try downgrading back to the WM5 that shipped with your phone and you might find it works more reliably.
If they use the word "licence", and then withdraw your licence, then I think you can demand a refund.
