"...requires the user to readjust some internal Windows settings..."
All you have to do is disable the Messenger service. Hardly an "internal Windows setting". Right-click My Computer, Manage, then go to services and disable it. Its actually a very straightforward thing to do.:-)
the point is that the G5 clearly doesn't win in terms of performance. you're asking whether or not the Athalon would run OS X... well... will the G5 run Windows? They're obviously runnnig two different operating systems. The interesting point here is not choice of OS, but performance of the hardware.
actually, there has not been a single recount which actually showed Gore as having more votes. They've counted, counted, re-counted, and counted again and they still can't get the answer they want. Its a shame for them, but I think they just have to realize that Bush did win, even though he may have only won by a small margin.

I think everything mentioned would be useful except for the voice activation and audible response. Why is that seen as such a great feature?
bottom line, MS isn't the only one with vulnerabilities in their code and this isn't something the open source community seems aware of at times.

can't you just connect to a MUD with a telnet client?
