"Ultimately the assets of the corporation were bought by Palm, Inc. for US$11 million in 2001, at which point the company entered dissolution. The company then initiated litigation against Microsoft for anti-competitive business practices, specifically the prohibition of OEM's to allow dual-boot systems containing both Microsoft and non-Microsoft operating systems.

The reason BeOS failed (so they calim) was that microsoft strongarmed vendors to not sell machines with BeOS preinstalled (MS: If you sell machines with BeOS, you can't sell Windows machines anymore). Retail sales of an operating system of todays magnitude doesn't pay the bills. Not even close.
Id imagine it is because the protocol is in a state of "flux". I am sure for every little change, they have to go back through every imlementation on every OS to see if there is any adverse effect.
So long as it passes, I would imagine it would still be "compatible".
I imagine the exact same can be said about the Macromedia Flash file format... and a billion other things.
Um... Samba is a case of reverse engineering... do you think... at all... that it may be possible that the changes from SP1 were perfectly legit, just something that Samba didn't have correct? I mean, it is MS's protocol. I would say they get to decide who has the correct implementation.

... I read an article in which he was quoted saying that he had a small staff that personally goes through his email.
.... I can buy one for my daughter. While she is away for a day, just throw it into my shady islamic looking neighbors(the ones who let their dog shit in my lawn) no-windowed van. Call 911. Tell them I think I saw him take her... she has a DISNEY CELL PHONE! They find him. Mow him down without question. Everyone scratches their head in confusion. I have a shit free lawn.
TPM in itself isn't bad. It is when it is grossly abused is the concern.
I would imagine if you want to use future version of windows (and/or media player), this chip will be necessary. I can only speculate that it aids in the decryption of copywrited content
CPU's AREN't slow. They are just doing so much per second that it gets in the way of the UI things that you are doing.
Your GPU is rendering graphics. The things it does are very simple compared to all of the goings on of an OS.
Your system relies on a level of trust. Me as CEO of Company X needs some sort of reassurance that staying here and making sure that this company STAYS a successful company during and even after my term is the better choice. But that isn't how it really works. Most people have some fear that they won't be part of the next "big thing". Look and Mandriva. So they do what they can get their piece of the cheese before the cat comes along. It may be capitalism, but we still just use our survival instincts. And it isn't always about greed. Sometimes, you gotta take what you can, while you can, or you get NOTHING AT ALL.
In terms of Operating Systems, or for that matter, general commercial software applications/suites, how many do you think make it to market on time? 50%... if you are lucky.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Game", starring Micheal Douglas? He plays a big tycoon in some mergers and aquisitions firm... in one scene, you see him visiting the head of some corperation... someone he obviously put there. You get the fact from their conversation that said head of corperation was put there just months before, and since he missed his target stock value by 1/4 of a point, he was terminated.
People go to work for money. If that isn't your goal, you have some catching up to do.
... maybe I am the ignorant here, but I would think, after being successfully sued, that indicated "Yes, WE SUCK. Here is some money so you leave us alone!", in which case, Apple Corps couldn't rightfully sue Apple computers for this... again.
Also, how in gods name does this happen in today? It's like when "LindowsOS" was smacked for being to similar to "Microsoft Windows Operating System". Should Ham producers start sueing Hormell for their SPAM product? I mean, it's a lot closer between "Ham" and "Spam" (EVen based on the same animal!) than between "Apple Computers" and "Apple Corps".
You know... you crack a joke, but I have to deal with this seriously way too often.
Recently our boss decided that any account that we have on our web applications needed a mode of contact. Something consistant for everyone. We debated a little, but the obvious solution was to simply require an email address, which in turn becomes their username. I mean it's 2006... who DOESN'T have an email address.
A week later, we get an excited new client. It is my job to set up the handful of user accounts for our webapps... and I simply boggled at the first guys response when I asked for his email address:
"3657 Washington Roa..." "No, your Email address." "3657 Wash..." "EEEEEEEEEEEE Mail address!" "What do you mean?" "What do you mean what do I mean? What is your email address?" "I don't know what that is"
He DOESNT KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!! That's like saying you don't know what a road is. Someone please explain to me how and why such people still exist? Keep in mind, these people are going to CONSTANTLY use a WEB application, yet... no... idea... of... what... an... email... is.
EFI is only the "BIOS". Since when has Windows needed the BIOS for close to anything? It, like most OS's do very little that they need, and do the rest themselves... and that is only at boot.
So all you need is to implement a PC AT BIOS emulator before XP begins.

de-duplication and calculating and storing only the changes between similar byte streams is apparently the key
Maybe you want to tale a gander at RLE
If you can't master this after about three attempts, let's just say I would recommend a nice icepick lobotomy.
A real Jedi would jusst use the force to repel any bits away from him!
Um... you know... why would you buy a TPM platform if you are going to fight it the whole way? In your case, you would buy a NON-TPM platform.
TPM in itself isn't bad. It is when it is grossly abused is the concern.

"Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP"
Have you ever noticed that in the scheme of naming meat for the three big land animals is completely broke?
Cow == Beef
Pig == Pork
But CHICKEN is still just CHICKEN ("Poultry" doesn't count as it encompasses all domesticated food birds).
Using this known quirk, we can safely assume, that if all of these Operating Systems were a meat, Macintosh would be CHICKEN!
Root isnt used. The initial user you created, in this case "kids", will have access to use sudo.
EFI is only the "BIOS". Since when has Windows needed the BIOS for close to anything? It, like most OS's do very little that they need, and do the rest themselves... and that is only at boot.
So all you need is to implement a PC AT BIOS emulator before XP begins.
Obviously, not everyone agrees with you...
