Uh...PNGs are tiny. Slightly larger than Jpegs for photos but remember that they are lossless AND have more features like alpha-transparancy. Its absolutely brilliant for cartoon and semi-realistic stuff. JPEG is dead.
Mac OS X and Linux UIs dont need a Cray to work. Windows ones do.
E.g. My computer which is a rather old Pentium 4 2.4ghz (not hyperthreaded) runs XGL brilliantly. Same computer wont run Vista properly and the Vista graphics arent exactly amazing.
Often you dont willingly agree to it. The licence is in the shrink wrap and the shrink wrap says that if you break it then your agreeing to the licence. You have to agree to the licence just to read it.
Of course the money cycles around. I'd prefer my money going to a better cycle however. I could buy a cd for $25 or buy hosting, a couple of domains, etc...
The Firefox UI is created basically out of thin air. Its all run by XUL (XML format UI) and Javascript. The only way to make it cross-platform is to have your own widget set.
Small question: Why dont you use Safari? I know I'd use it if I had a Mac. Keep in mind that I use Seamonkey and dont really like Firefox much.
You assume that the Microsoft equivelants are as good or better than the current solutions and that the current solutions dont improve beyond what MS is doing.

If it did then I'd be able to run it on my Pentium 4 wouldnt I?
How exactly does the benchmarking clause help fight piracy?

'Improved' is a interesting word huh?
I agree with you completely.
Next they will be selling Windows 2007 Server using the Linux kernel.
Someone must tell Apple about AMD!
Well where is it storing all the GUI bitmaps? They must be loaded in to GDI on startup so they wont count in the app's memory usage.
Also makes them a lot more money but we all know thats a innocent side effect right?
Dont you mean 100+ million iPods vs ~100 WMA devices?
Ah so thats how they can brag that DirectX 10 is x times faster.
They just made DirectX 9 slower.

Well the motherboard is about 20 different devices according to Microsoft so dont expect to be able to upgrade your motherboard often with Vista.
Dont worry its happening. Unreal and ID Software are just two examples of the growing number of companies who are porting.
How long until someone spreads a worm which adds pishing websites to the whitelist?
If your a audiophile then wtf are you doing buying DRMed music?

Yeah I suppose watching Bush try and read a childeren's book upside down is more entertaining than John Howard.
Who in their right mind would want a smart person governing their country?
From Australia you can just sit 'down under' watching the rest of the world bickering. :)

Your opinions are fine. Just dont complain about taxes being high when you think that tax free cigarettes are ok.
