I used RockXP on a number of occasions, on XP Home and XP Pro. It allows you to change the key, and it's very simple to use. It can be found on http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancement s/RockXP.shtml . The website of the developer (http://www.korben.tk) seems down at the moment
Norton Ghost is the easiest and fastest way to support a small number of computers. You could then protect them against lusers by using DeepFreeze (http://www.faronics.com/canada/deepfreeze.asp).
Maybe it's no longer important whether microsoft pays up. They have lost Europe as a market. Right now I can choose which linux company i want to work for, but there are few opportunities for windows sysadmins. My guess: most of the companies here are either migrating to Linux, or looking into it.
secretaries don't need any software other than pre-installed stuff? Right, what happens when said secretary needs to open an emailed document that requires a reader?
Flexibility is not a problem. That emailed document will render just perfect in her web-based email. The only upgrade needed would be on the webserver.
I've been working as a sysadmin for the last 8 years. Everybody uses ethernet these days, but there are exceptions. Some big networks still have segments that are token-ring, usually in older buildings. I even know a company that still uses token-ring because upgrading to ethernet would mean recabling the whole 8-story building. And their network apps work fine over their token-ring network. If it works, don't fix it.
The idea doesn't sound new to me. It is quite logical, my friend. I'm a Novell admin. Setting up a decent admin station can take some time. I recently worked in a large environment where my pc came pre-installed with XP (company standard), and all the tools i needed were available through Zen. The guy who set this up had the resposibility that all zen-apps were up-to-date and were set-up correctly. I found this very convenient. In this large and standardized network it almost was a full-time job to maintain all admin- and development tools.
He claims that Microsoft started thinking about security in the early nineties. He also mentions that "Bill wrote the Trustworthy Computing Memo back in 2002." So it took them 10 years to realize they should do something about their security issues?
Slashdot Mirror
Windows Waterloo.
That's security by statistics.
This sounds like an idea from the same guy(s) that gave us the Evil Bit.
Or Looking Glass, perhaps? Looks pretty impressive to me, although I haven't tested it yet.

Not snowballs, but meatballs (http://www.venganza.org/)
Fixing it would be more effective, but less profitable.
I suggest that you put some kind of spell-checker into those distro's.
Add Microsoft. They make people switch to firefox.

You probably were asleep. It came right after the chapter on IP over Avian Carriers (RFC 2549).
A constitutional republic could be based on democracy. They are not mutually exclusive, at least over here in Europe.
In Europe we call it "democracy".

Only when they make a deodorant by the name of "Conceptually Oxymooronic" I'd consider using some.

Something like a small but well-focused group of terrorists?
because they now a very dark future is upon them.
Come on, this windows talk is completely off-topic. We were talking about MythTv, remember?
