Of course, when everybody stops buying thier cds in protest, the RIAA will blame piracy for the decline in sales and launch another round of these lawsuits.
You know it's true.
Sony took over the industry with the PS1, and managed to retain thier hold with the PS2. XBOX was a distant second in North America, and barely noticed in Japan. What makes him so sure MS can overtake Sony with the next iteration? I would expect that Sony maintains their hold of the console market until the next crash, which is definitely going to happen eventually.
It's not like there won't be pirate versions of SP2 to download, and somebody that buys from fly-by-night outfits probably won't be doing much upgrading anyways, so there aren't quite as many potential linux converts as you think
How about just "Gee I'm glad I use FireFox?" Once you're not using the browser which the exploits target, it really doesn't matter as much what OS you're using.
"If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?"
Oh yeah? Mine would be "Is Doom 3 out yet?"
Honestly, which is more likely?
Well, they're both more likely than Duke Nukem Forever.

The bus also travels slowly because of problems with the system registry.
