Actually the popular Linux Distributions for beginners look like Windows because...TADA...they are made for Windows-converts. If you dig a little deeper you will find a much more unix-like environment (Latex, Windowmanagers with totally different look like e.g. fluxbox or ratpoison,...). But those are hidden from the beginner because experience shows that beginners with Linux are scared away if they have to learn too much too fast.
No, this is a great example of large corporations crushing the little guy AND other large corporations with laws that were meant to protect the little guy from large corporations.
If you can even notice a difference in performance for effects/UI of your web page something is wrong with using Java for that task. UIs should be totally responsive even on the "older hardware" of today by now.
An easy way to protect against lots of Malware would be a dialog that asks the user for confirmation whenever a program wants to use any of the numerous ways to start itself on every Windows boot.
So basically you say "Make Linux another Windows and it will be successful with the masses". I think I speak for all current Linux users when I say: "No thanks"
Actually the products that last almost exactly a few days beyond the warranty are better quality (as the manufacturer sees it) than the ones that last forever.
Google it, you shouldn't find too many irrelevant results with that word...

Strangely the only users still complaining about broken dependencies are the ones using one of the RPM-based distros. I wonder what reason that might have...
And here I thought nobody invented the "idea on command" yet. I always thought corporate (funded) research basically was "working out the details" as you call it and innovation was basically just ideas that flashed into the minds of people knowing a lot about something and thinking a lot about it.
Keyboards will be obsolete as well from the moment speech recognition is a mature technology.
A common misconception. Unless we get speech itself (not just speech recognition) to be much more efficient (faster) they will always be a pain to use for anything but the rarest commands. "computer lights" might be ok, but "computer, next line" or "computer, chat color yellow" simply isn't efficient enough for daily usage, even if it is perfectly recognized.
Linux-nerds can multi-task and hate MS in a background thread. The only time really wasted is the time spent posting on/. and I don't think windows-zealots are different there.

That is probably the only version in existance until they build in the restrictions for the other versions right before the release.
If someone asked me what the marketing people mean by solution I would describe it as "You know, solution, as in 'solution searching for a problem'"
Did it ever occur to you that a language that needs auto-generated code is fundamentally flawed (too low-level)?
If you think Java has "Ease of development" you should really try to learn more programming languages.

My theory is that this is the marketing equivalent to easter eggs in software.

The typical "Cheap can't be good" FUD.

Actually they wouldn't poison downloads as nobody would make downloads available.
Don't be ridiculous. Even plastic won't survive our sun going Supernova in 3,000,000,000 years or so...
They created this user type so they have only themselves to blame.

They should split it into modules small enough so one person can understand one of the modules completely.
