Except that Microsoft fostered a culture of single-user operating systems for home users for over a decade. It has now abandoned that with Windows XP, but applications writers did not react to the change as quickly as one might have hoped.
In an actual war, one's opponents might try to interfere with GPS navigation, so perhaps one should consider that when buying tanks. As you said, the German (Leopards) weren't affected.
During the tests the British Challenger tanks had difficulty with navigation and were unable to work out exactly where they were. The British use the satellite global positioning system, GPS, for navigation, whilst the French had no such problems with their navigation.
The Americans also claimed that their navigation suffered difficulty and it was later alleged that the French were covertly interfering with a GPS signal.
Would you buy a tank whose GPS navigation can be interfered with by the French?
In the mid-1870's, five to six thousand deaths a year were attributed to such accidents [from bad kerosene]. Regulation was spotty and slow in coming, which is why Rockefeller insisted on consistency and quality control, and why he had chosen the name Standard.
A typical Linux distribution has more stuff than Microsoft Windows XP. As for supporting hardware, it's more a matter of vendor support. Linux is good at dealing with supported hardware.
Was any girder from Carnegie Steel as flaky as Microsoft Windows? Did any gallon of kerosene from Standard Oil ever behave as wildly as Internet Explorer. Say what you will of Carnegie and Rockefeller, but they practiced quality control.
The inability to install games in Linux has nothing to do with ease of use and everything to do with the paucity of games available for Linux. As for printing, is it really harder to set up printing in Linux than in Microsoft Windows? That's not my experience.

It's $36 per hour only if they work roughly 2,028 hours per year. What of those who work more?
Is that legally enforceable?

One can use PSTricks for vector diagrams, though I don't know how well LaTeX supports bitmaps.

.1 * 100,000,000 = 10,000,000, not 1,000,000.
You cannot install apps without being an 'admin' account, and being prompted for your password again.
So you can't install applications in your own directory?
The unions are against anything proposed by or endorsed by the conservatives.
And that's a bad thing?
You forgot about that they also get your money even if you home school or use Linux.
Don't know about Carnegie, but
From Daniel Yergin's The Prize, p. 50:
In the mid-1870's, five to six thousand deaths a year were attributed to such accidents [from bad kerosene]. Regulation was spotty and slow in coming, which is why Rockefeller insisted on consistency and quality control, and why he had chosen the name Standard.
To be pointed to www.firefox.org to get a webbrowser.
I use Firefox for some things, but Konqueror isn't such a memory pig.
Then why did Microsoft release two service packs for it?

How important is binary compatibility when one has source code?

And what red tape does net neutrality impose?
That raises the question of why file(1) has to know what it is (to that specificity).

write.c: ASCII C program text

Files without #include directives were classified as plain text.
And how would net neutrality reduce competition? And in what market?
Try and ask the RIAA and the MPAA if they think the arts aren't useful.
The RIAA wants pop stars, not musicians.
Now multiply that problem by 100 and the population by 9 or 10 and that is India.
The European Union has a population of 450,000,000. Is India's population 4 billion? Try multiplying the population by three.
If it were legal to offered tiered internet access, then why don't firms simply offer it, instead of proposing to offer it?
And what price controls are there for internet access now?
